Mariners Pull Back to .500 With Win Over Twins
The Seattle Mariners did just enough to secure a victory over the Minnesota Twins, 4-3, at Metrodome 1994-2009. Nobody did more than pitcher Joe Blanton. Blanton went 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 3 hits, walked 2, and struck out 6. His record improves to 2-1. Seattle has a 3-game win streak, while Minnesota has lost 3 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Kendry Morales? The Seattle first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Mariners on top, 4-0. For the game, Morales had 2 doubles and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

After the game, Seattle manager applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
