RHP Mike Leake (7-4, 4.47) vs. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (9-1, 3.59)
In case you missed it:
- In a rematch of last week’s pitching duel, this certainly wasn’t that. Wade LeBlanc allowed six runs on 11 hits over 4 2/3 innings; Steven Wright served up three home runs and lasted only 3 1/3 innings, allowing 10 runs.
- Nelson Cruz homered twice and drove in seven, and the Mariners had built a 10-5 lead by the fifth inning.
