Rangers 5, Mariners 3
- Wins are always good. But wins against the hated Mariners are especially good.
- This was a game where Chris Woodward was going to want Martin Perez to go deep, and Perez got off to a great start in that regard, needing just seven pitches to get through a scoreless inning. Hey, great efficiency!
- I regret to inform you that sort of low pitch count would not last.
- It got derailed in the second, in fact. After seven pitches in the second, Perez had a runner on first via a walk, and Carlos Santana at the plate (albeit with an 0-2 count).
