Baseball Betting Lines
07/02/2008 -
Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Willie Bloomquist ripped a game-winning single
in the bottom of the ninth to lift Seattle over Toronto, 7-6, at Safeco Field.
Raul Ibanez worked a walk off Scott Downs (0-2) to lead off the inning and
moved into scoring position when Jose Vidro laid down a bunt. After
intentionally walking Adrian Beltre, who was 3-for-4 with a home run and two
RBI in the game, Jays manager Cito Gaston went to the bullpen and Shawn Camp.
But, Bloomquist greeted the reliever by lacing the game-winner into the gap in
left-center.
Richie Sexson also homered for the Mariners, who have won four of their past
five games. Yuniesky Betancourt was 2-for-4 with two RBI in the win.
Ryan Rowland-Smith started and surrendered three runs on four hits in just 3
2/3 innings. Brandon Morrow (1-1) earned the win with a scoreless ninth
Adam Lind finished 3-for-4 with three RBI for the Blue Jays, who lost for the
first time in four games. Gregg Zaun was 2-for-4 with two RBI for Toronto.
Jesse Litsch scattered 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs -- one
earned.
The Blue Jays jumped in front with a three-run fourth. Marco Scutaro led off
with a single, moved to second on Alex Rios' walk and scored when Vernon Wells
slapped an RBI double to right-center. Rowland-Smith continued to struggle and
plunked Lyle Overbay to load the bases. After Scott Rolen popped out to short,
Zaun grounded into a strange 7-5 fielder's choice to drive in another run
before Lind capped the frame with an RBI single to right.
The Mariners clawed back into the game during the fourth with a pair of runs.
Beltre got on with a one-out single, advanced 90 feet on Jeremy Reed's ground
ball to second and came around to score when Litsch air-mailed Sexson's
bouncer back to the box past Overbay at first. After Jeff Clement singled to
left, Betancourt made it a 3-2 game with a run-scoring single to right.
Toronto bounced back with another three-spot in the sixth. The Blue Jays
quickly loaded the bases thanks a Wells single, a Jose Lopez error on an
Overbay grounder and a Rolen walk. Zaun followed with an RBI single before
Lind laced a two-run double to left.
Seattle got a run back in the home half of the sixth when Reed got on with a
one-out single and came around when Clement and Betancourt came through with
consecutive two-out singles.
The Mariners continued to chip away in the seventh. Vidro slapped a two-out
single up the middle before Beltre went the opposite way and tomahawked a
Jesse Carlson fastball over the wall in right for his 16th homer of the
season.
Seattle finally deadlocked things in the eighth when Sexson led off the frame
by belting his 10th homer of the year.
