Mariners squeak past Red Sox in 11
Baseball Betting Lines
07/03/2009 -
Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rob Johnson went 3-for-5 with three doubles,
including a two-run double in the top of the 11th, to lift the Seattle Mariners past the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox, 7-6, in the opener of a
three-game set at Fenway Park.
Ramon Ramirez (5-3), who took over on the mound for Boston in the top of the
11th, gave up a single to Franklin Gutierrez and walked Ryan Langerhans to put
men on first and second. Chris Woodward moved the runners up a base with a
sacrifice bunt. Johnson then stepped to the plate and laced the eventual game-
winning hit down the right-field line.
Mark Lowe came on for the M's in the bottom half and made things interesting
when he gave up a two-out solo homer to George Kottaras -- the first of his
career. J.D. Drew then singled to right, but Lowe got Dustin Pedroia to ground
into a fielder's choice to pick up his first save of the season.
Ronny Cedeno went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run for the Mariners, who have
won four of six. Jose Lopez went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and a double for
Seattle, which improved to 4-3 on a nine-game road trip. Langerhans had a pair
of doubles and scored twice.
Felix Hernandez was strong in seven frames, remaining unbeaten in his last
eight starts, allowing three runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and two
walks to take the no-decision for the Mariners. Chris Jakubauskas (5-5)
tossed a scoreless ninth and 10th to collect the win.
Nick Green had a pair of doubles, including a two-run hit in the bottom of the
eighth to tie the tilt, for the Red Sox, who have alternated wins and losses
in their last six games. Drew added a solo homer for Boston, which started a
10-game homestand on Friday.
Tim Wakefield went eight frames, giving up five runs on 10 hits with three
strikeouts to take the no-decision for the Red Sox. Wakefield made the 383rd
start of his Boston career on Friday, passing Roger Clemens for the most in
club history.
Ahead, 5-3, the M's sent Sean White to the mound to begin the bottom of the
eighth, but he quickly ran into trouble. After getting David Ortiz to fly out,
White walked Jason Bay and gave up a single to Mark Kotsay to put men on first
and second. Shawn Kelley, who was activated from the 15-day DL on Friday, then
took over on the bump and got Jacoby Ellsbury to fly out, but Green stepped
to the plate and stroked a two-run double off the top of the Green Monster to
tie the contest at five.
Manny Delcarmen retired Seattle in order in the top of the ninth, while
Jakubauskas retired the Red Sox 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning to send the
game into extra frames.
The Red Sox drew first blood with a pair of runs in the first inning. Pedroia
singled, and Ortiz walked to put men on first and second with two
outs. Bay then stroked an RBI ground-rule double to right field. With Kotsay
batting, Ortiz crossed the plate on a wild pitch from Hernandez for an early
two-run cushion.
Seattle scored a run in the third to cut the deficit in half. Johnson doubled
off the Green Monster, advanced to third on Ichiro Suzuki's single and scored
on Russell Branyan's single to right.
The Mariners plated three runs in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead. Langerhans
started things with a one-out double to center and scored two batters later
when Johnson doubled off the Green Monster. Cedeno then stepped to the plate
and drove a Wakefield offering over the wall in center.
Boston put men on second and third with two outs in the sixth, but Hernandez
struck out Green looking to end the threat.
Drew's solo shot to center in the seventh brought the Red Sox within one,
4-3, but Lopez started the eighth with a homer over the Green Monster to
restore Seattle's two run lead.
Game Notes
To make room on the roster for Kelley, the Mariners optioned infielder Mike
Carp to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday...Seattle won two of three games from the
Red Sox at Safeco Field from May 15-17 but are just 6-17 over their last 23
visits to Fenway Park. Seattle has not taken a series in Boston since winning
two of three tests from August 14-16, 2001...Boston owns a league-best 35-11
mark at home this year.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
