Mariner Game #5

M's dropped the first game of four to Oakland 5-0. Ouch.
This was to be night of twenty-year old ace Felix Hernandez, but not tonight. He was pulled in the 6th and gave up one run. One of his relievers earned the next four runs. This is a disappointment, not with Felix, but with the team, and how their inability to win this game. However the Oakland pitcher was excellent. Perhaps he's a continuation of their ability to develop a first rate pitching staff. Joe Blanton is the pitcher's name.
