Game Story
As his young starter closed his case for a starting job on the day before the nightmare ended, catcher Kenji Johjima continued to make use of every second left in this season.Ex-Rattlers for Seattle:
No Mariner finished 2008 better than Ryan Rowland-Smith, who pitched another quality start, his eighth straight, in a 7-3 victory over Oakland on Saturday and left little doubt in the Mariners' minds that he deserves a spot in the rotation next season.
But his veteran catcher has given the organization something to think about, too. Johjima's three-run homer finished off a six-run first inning for the Mariners, their best first inning in more than five years.
Raul Ibanez (Foxes, '94): 0-for-4, run
Wladimir Balentien ('04): 1-for-4, run, 2 RBI
