Mariners Insider - Mariners chase Millwood, up 7-0

The Rangers have opened the fourth inning wit righty Josh Rupe on the mound.

Starter Kevin Millwood heads to the showers to contemplate a very ugly pitching line: three innings, seven runs, seven earned runs, nine hits, one walk, two strike outs, two home runs allowed, 76 pitches thrown, 52 strikes.

Millwood came into the game with a 2-2 record and 3.86 ERA.

And Wash is OUT after six. Green is in, lead not safe. I just can't bring myself to say that is a good outing by Wash. SIX innings? Six? The way he was cruising?

Nice to see some runs though.

Calf stiffness. Not expected to miss next start.

I am just going to make an observation and try to leave any value judgement out of it. Seems like just about all our starters have been having some little nick that is taking them out of games or being used to explain their ineffectiveness. Felix has a cold, Wash strains calf, Silva has something (then next outing lays an egg), Miggy has a tweak, JJ pulls a rib, then has a bad finger. Etc. etc.

Coincidence? Probably. But then again ... where is Oliver Stone?
