Baseball Betting Lines
04/07/2010 -
Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mark Ellis singled in the winning run with two
outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting Oakland to a 2-1 win over
Seattle in the second installment of a season-opening four-game series.
One night after the Mariners won the game, 5-3, with a pair of runs in the
ninth inning, the A's earned the victory in their final at-bat, capping a
three-hit night for Ellis.
Kurt Suzuki homered in the fourth inning for the Athletics, who snapped an
eight-game skid going back to last season.
A's starter Dallas Braden had a career-high 10 strikeouts, while giving up
four hits and a run over seven innings.
Ian Snell threw the first six frames for the Mariners and yielded three hits
and a run with a pair of walks while fanning four.
Seattle's lone run came in the fourth inning when Franklin Gutierrez scored on
a wild pitch.
Seattle right-hander Kanekoa Texeira (0-1), who suffered the loss, made his
major league debut and escaped a huge jam in the ninth. Ellis singled and
Travis Buck had a broken-bat double, both with one out. Cliff Pennington then
walked, but Rajai Davis struck out on a low pitch. Daric Barton got ahead 3-1
in the count, but was out on a lazy fly ball to left.
Edwar Ramirez (1-0) retired the side in order in the top of the 10th, and
Texeira fanned Ryan Sweeney to start the bottom of the inning. Kevin
Kouzmanoff and Suzuki singled. Eric Patterson came on as a pinch-runner for
Kouzmanoff, but remained at second when Eric Chavez lined out to left. Ellis
then struck an 0-2 pitch on a line to the gap in right-center field to win the
game.
Gutierrez doubled to left with one out in the fourth, went to third on a two-
out balk and came home on a wild pitch from Braden.
The A's tied it in the bottom half when Suzuki belted a 1-1 offering from
Snell over the wall in left field. The A's loaded the bases later in the
frame, but Davis grounded back to the mound to end the threat.
Oakland didn't get another hit until the eighth on a Kouzmanoff infield
single, but Suzuki then grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Game Notes
The A's left 12 men on base...This was just the sixth win in the last 24 games
for the Athletics against the Mariners...Snell threw 100 pitches, 61 for
strikes...Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki went 1-for-3 and has a 22-game
hitting streak against the A's.
