Marco! A win. Five and a third innings, two hits! Two runs, one shouldn't have happened except for Gearrin allowing an inherited runner score. Gonzalez didn't even look that sharp at first, but Marco had told us he was taking charge and he did exactly that.
It surely helped that Santana hit two opposite field home runs, his play seemingly invigorated by his move from left to right field. He appears more comfortable there and made a nifty play snatching a foul pop away from a fan in the stands along the line.
Tom Murphy, whose play is legitimately challenging Narvaez for time in the line-up, continued his hot hitting with a 3-run homer in between Santana's two.
There was a lot to like about this game. It was a solid bread-and-butter baseball game for the M's, rarely seen this season, a road-trip opening 6-2 win over the Angels. Maybe, just maybe, Marco has them headed in a better direction.
