| Pilots Winners, 4-1, Over Rangers | Seattle left-hander Vernon Mathews pitched his team to victory over the Houston Rangers at Pilots Park. The final score was 4-1. Mathews yielded 1 run over 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 0, and struck out 8. His record improves to 2-0. With the loss, Houston sinks to 4-5.
Antonio Valle was 1 for 3 for Seattle. The 22-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Miguel Jimenez. It was his 5th RBI of the season.
"A confident pitcher is a dangerous thing," said Seattle manager David Fields. "That's what Vernon is right now." | | | | |
