LHP Matt Harrison bounced back from a rough first inning, in which he threw 34 pitches, to pitch into the eighth inning and pick up the win Tuesday. Harrison got out of the first when CF Josh Hamilton made an over-the-shoulder catch of a bases-loaded drive to the deepest part of the park. Harrison, however, did not walk a batter after the first and need just 69 pitches to work the six innings from the second through the seventh.

Harrison held the Mariners to one run over seven-plus innings Tuesday, giving up seven hits and two walks while striking out six to get the win.
Recommendation: Harrison got a big assist from Mike Adams in this one, as Adams shut down the side after Harrison allowed the first two batters to reach in the eighth inning.
