Mariners rally in eighth inning to shock Tigers

Baseball Betting Lines

05/26/2010 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Josh Wilson capped a four-run rally in the eighth inning with a two-run single for the Mariners, who stormed back to capture a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers, sweeping a two-game set at Safeco Field.

Mike Sweeney, Seattle's hottest hitter, began the comeback with a two-run homer in the eighth, finishing the game with a pair of hits in four at-bats. Sweeney, who has failed to play more than 74 games in any of the previous four seasons, has raised his average from .172 to .309 while adding six homers and 14 RBI since May 8 (11 games).

Michael Saunders also drove in a run for Seattle, which has had nine of its last 13 games decided by one run (5-8). Jason Vargas had a streak of seven consecutive quality starts snapped after allowing two runs in only five frames, but Brandon League (4-4) threw 2 1/3 scoreless frames -- allowing only an inherited runner to score -- to earn the victory.

David Aardsma earned his 11th save with a perfect ninth.

Jeremy Bonderman had another excellent start go to waste for the Tigers, yielding just an unearned run on five hits and two walks while fanning six in seven frames. Bonderman has been excellent in May and in five games -- four starts -- has allowed just four earned runs in 27 innings pitched.

Magglio Ordonez hit a two-run homer among three hits, while Austin Jackson went 2-for-5 with an RBI for the Tigers, who have lost four of five. Ryan Perry (1-3) was saddled with the loss after giving up four runs while recording just one out.

Trailing by three entering the eighth, Seattle rallied for four runs off the Detroit bullpen to surge in front.

Perry came in to pitch after Bonderman's strong start and allowed a leadoff single to Franklin Gutierrez. Two batters later, Sweeney hammered the ball over the left-field fence to cut the Mariners' deficit to 4-3.

Jose Lopez kept the rally going with a single, and Rob Johnson sent a double off the left-field wall to move Lopez to third. Wilson put Seattle ahead with a single into shallow left-center, plating both runners for a 5-4 game.

Aardsma came on to finish the game in the ninth and retired Detroit in order to polish off the win.

The Mariners took advantage of an error to grab the lead in the second inning.

Josh Bard hit a swinging bunt that went to the right of the pitcher's mound with one out. Bonderman had trouble grabbing it and fired wildly toward first, and the ball sailed to the wall in foul territory in right field. Bard advanced to second but came up lame and was replaced by Johnson.

Wilson followed with a single to left to advance Johnson to third, and Saunders blooped an RBI base hit to shallow left for a 1-0 lead.

Detroit answered quickly, however. In the third, Johnny Damon worked a one-out walk, and Ordonez crushed a 1-1 pitch over the wall in left for a 2-1 Tigers advantage.

The Tigers increased their lead in the sixth thanks to a Seattle error. Ryan Rowland-Smith began the inning and retired the first two batters, but Danny Worth reached base on an error by the third baseman Lopez. Adam Everett followed with a double down the left field line, allowing Worth to score for a 3-1 contest.

League came in for the M's and yielded an RBI single to Jackson for a three- run game.

Game Notes

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
