SEATTLE -- Colby Lewis threw a curveball to strike out Brad Miller with the bases loaded to end the fourth inning. Lewis' next pitch was a slider to open the fifth after his team had tied the score in the top of the inning.
The slider wasn't as good as the curve. Mike Zunino hit it over the left field wall for a home run that gave Mariners starter Felix Hernandez a 2-1 lead. On a night when Hernandez gave Lewis little room for an error, the slider to Zunino was the key pitch of the night.
