Game Story
Ex-Rattlers for Seattle:The Mariners sent Brandon Morrow to the mound Sunday for his fourth major-league start, hoping he could derail what stood to become the second 0-11 road trip in franchise history. In a season punctuated by disappointment, futility and all-around embarrassment, the promise of better things to come is personified in the 98-mph fastball and devastating power curve thrown by their former No. 1 draft pick.
Morrow delivered beyond what was expected in carrying a one-hitter and three-run lead into the seventh inning. But a few too many walks and a bullpen now as porous as any in the league proved his undoing in a 5-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics that sealed Seattle's winless road trip.
