Mariners lose. Brandon Beachy is a very good pitcher so the rope-a-dope tactic of striking out nine times in order to elevate his pitch count and end up having him leave the game after 6 innings was an interesting new tactic for this woeful offense. Erik Bedard went 7 innings, struck out 5, walked one, and allowed 3 runs, his last two off a two-run home run in the 7th. Adam Kennedy hit a home run and Dustin Ackley went 1-for-3 with a walk. Mike Carp had a multiple hit game going 2-for-3.
L.A. Angels move ino second place. Standings are: Texas, Angels (1.5 back), M's (2 back), Oakland (6 back).
(39-40)
