M's 6 - Padres 0

Mariners win. Jason Vargas goes the distance in a brilliant performance shutting out the Padres. He struck out 7 and walked no one getting first pitch strikes on 22 of the 31 total batters he faced. Cust had a very Cust-ian performance with a double, two walks, and a strikeout. Everyone in the lineup got a hit except for Ichiro and Gutierrez. Yes, Figgins was in the lineup. Bard was at catcher tonight while Olivo recovers from his cramps (Midol!) and Ackley was out with bruised ribs.

(40-42)

Also, Sir Mix-A-Lot threw out the first pitch. Wanna see? Sure you do.

Swass.

Mariners 2 - Marlins 4

Mariners lose. Jason Vargas settled in after allowing 3 runs in the first, ultimately going 4 innings, striking out 4, walking 2, and giving up a total of 4 runs. Carlos Peguero went 2-for-4, striking out once and hitting a laser beam home run in the 5th. Confirmed: overall offense still lame.

(38-39)

M's 2 - Phillies 0

The Mariners take the series in dramatic fashion with a Jason Vargas complete game shutout over the Phillies. Vargas K'd 6, BB'd 2 and out-dueled Cole Hamels. Ackley tripled, Ichiro and Smoak had two hits apiece, and Mike Carp got pinch-hit for in favor of Adam Kennedy. Nice win, congrats to Vargas. Happy Father's Day to me!

M's 7 - White Sox 4

Mariners win in 10 innings to avoid the sweep. Jason Vargas goes 7.1 innings, K's 4, BB's 1. Carp, in his 2011 MLB debut, goes 1 for 4 with a double and a strikeout. Miguel Olivo hit a homerun in the 8th and what ended up being the game-winning double in the 10th. Also, Gutierrez lays down a suicide squeeze, the 2nd this week. Brandon League earned his 17th save of the season.
