Not since June have the Ms won three in a row, but Detroit is in town and that means magic is in the air for Seattle: Mallex Smith drives a walk-off single to win 3 to 2. The game featured a much needed and reassuring start by Kikuchi, a late inning tying homer by Tom Murphy (who is less and less surprising) and a first-rate, gold-glove stop and throw by J. P. Crawford.
Good stuff. Encouraging. Only two of the guys in last night's starting line-up were in there opening day, four weren't even on the team. Nola, whose super stretch at first, made Crawford's incredible play credible has turned out to be a good example of what the Tacoma call-ups can do.
It's been early April since the Ms won four straight, right at the end of their now mythic 13-2 start of the season. Marco goes for his twelfth win today. He's 6 and 2 over his last eight starts, maybe!
