Gutierrez Rallies Seattle to a Win

Seat­tle posted a 2–1 win over the Chicago White Sox Wednes­day, thanks to a two-run sin­gle by Franklin Gutier­rez with one out in the 11th inning.

The game was score­less through 10 innings, before the White Sox took the lead in the 11th but Seat­tle came back in the bot­tom half of the inning. After this loss, Chicago leads over Min­nesota by two games in the Amer­i­can League Central.

Hold­ing 20 saves this sea­son, Bobby Jenks (1–3) gave up a bunt sin­gle to Jack Wil­son on the first pitch, in the 11th. He pulled his sec­ond through Ichiro Suzuki, and moved to third on a sin­gle by Chone Figgins.

Bobby Jenks (1–3), who has 20 saves this sea­son, came on in the 11th and gave up a bunt sin­gle to Jack Wil­son on the first pitch. Wil­son moved to sec­ond on a sac­ri­fice by Ichiro Suzuki and took third on a sin­gle by Chone Fig­gins. Fig­gins took sec­ond to put two run­ners in scor­ing posi­tion, while Gutier­rez sin­gled to center.

Gor­don Beckham’s dou­ble along with a sin­gle by Omar Vizquel helped the White Sox to score in the top half of the inning. Bran­don League (7–6) man­aged to win even though he gave up the go-ahead run in the top of the 11th.

This win came as a great relief for Seat­tle, as they have been a mess all sea­son long despite high aspi­ra­tions. They have given away their big off-season pos­ses­sion Cliff Lee, even as other acqui­si­tions Chone Fig­gins (.226 avg) and Mil­ton Bradley (.211) haven’t been that impres­sive. Per­mit­ting 10.8 hits per game, the pitch­ing hasn’t been there either.

At Lines­Maker, Seat­tle Mariners are listed at +500000 to win the World Series, while their con­tender from last game the Chicago White Sox, at +1500, have far bet­ter odds.
