day off." Seattle manager l.uu
Finielta said "Not because we
didn't swing them well Finley
pitched very well He moved
the frail around, changed speeds
and made the pitches when he
had to."
The Mariners still like their
chances of winning their first
division crown.
"We're still hot," Mike
Blowers said. "Any time you
win seven of eight at home, you
have to feel pretty good about
that. We lost, but we still feel
good about our situation."
