Minnesota 2, Mariners 1

Well, you got your money's worth if you went to today's game, and out of one half-inning alone. The top of the tenth included a web gem for the ages in Franklin Gutierrez' home-run robbing catch, a botched suicide squeeze, and a Wladimir Balentien error that looked like, according to Seattlest David "a guy trying to catch a fly ball on the first day of 11th grade gym class." That error allowed the winning run to score. Also, Ichiro struck out to end the game, also ending his franchise-record hitting streak at 27. Box score. Next game Saturday vs. MIN, 1:10 p.m.; Wash vs. Nick Blackburn.
