Game story

But instead of contending for a division title, the Mariners club that beat Oakland on Friday, behind two home runs from Jose Lopez and another from Rob Johnson, has the worst record in the majors.

A crowd of 24,662 at Safeco Field watched Morrow leave the game down 6-5 after five innings, having allowed six hits, five walks and a pair of rocket home runs to Jack Cust and Travis Buck.

But Morrow, who threw 114 pitches, kept the game close by striking out eight. Seattle then erupted for five runs off A's starter Sean Gallagher and reliever Jerry Blevins in the bottom of the inning to give Morrow the victory.

Ex-Rattlers:
Raul Ibanez (Foxes, '94): 1-for-5, run, RBI
Wladimir Balentien ('04): 0-for-1, pinch-hitter
Luis Valbuena ('06): 3-for-4, 2 runs, RBI
Rob Johnson ('05): 2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI
