Medium Overall John Lamb pitched OK. He went six innings, walking three and striking out three. Jeff Brantley said early in the game that Lamb was throwing his fastball in the bottom of the zone, something he wasn’t doing in Cleveland. Made it hard for Mariners batters to pick up. The four runs came on two homers. Both should have been solo shots (see below).
DatPlay Brandon Phillips made a beautiful defensive play in the second inning, diving to his left to rob Franklin Gutierrez of a single.
