The '97 Mariners did not just beat the first place Texas Rangers on May 28. They shut them out 5-0.
If you were thinking shutout on the '97 M's, you would be thinking Randy Johnson. In this case you would be correct. Johnson struck out 15 over eight innings. He gave up four hits and walked just one.
A pair of run scoring ground outs in the bottom of the second inning gave the M's the lead. Paul Sorrento's pinch-hi RBI single in the seventh padded the lead. Then, Edgar Martinez and Alex Rodriguez had back-to-back RBI doubles for a 5-0 lead.
Complete box score and play-by-play are HERE.
The M's are 27-24. They are tied with the Angels for second place. Both are one game behind the Rangers.
The series with the Rangers continues at the Kingdome on May 29.
Scheduled starters 5/29/97:
