Tigers score off backup catcher in 15th for win

Tigers score off backup catcher in 15th for win
TIM BOOTH, Jul 6, 2008
Once Ichiro Suzuki heard that backup catcher Jamie Burke was about to take the mound, he hustled over to manager Jim Riggleman and volunteered his services. If the Seattle Mariners were desperate enough to use their third-string catcher on the mound, why not their All-Star right fielder.

Mariners Team Report

Mariners Team Report Jul 5, 2008

The Seattle bullpen is becoming more of a factor as the season goes on.

The relievers had a 5.25 ERA at the end of April. Right-hander J.J. Putz was out for most of the month, righty Brandon Morrow didn't make the team out of spring training because of inconsistency, and nothing clicked.

Since then, however, the relievers have a composite ERA of 3.21, including four scoreless innings thrown by Sean Green and Morrow in Friday's 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers.

The bullpen's overall ERA is down to 3.75, making it one of the more effective relief corps in the game.

"The relievers have just been outstanding," manager Jim Riggleman said. "It's been going on for a while now."
