First of all - congrats to the guy.
He dominated/coasted through 8 innings.
But you knew the 9th wouldn't be easy - NEVER IS.
Went to 3 balls in the pitch count twice - and twice hitters swung at ball 4.
Incl the last out with the checked-swing (the right call by the home plate ump IMO)
Oh yes -and IT WAS against the Mariners.
