Roenis Elias vs. Shaun Marcum, 7:10pm
Yesterday’s game was one of the most rewarding of the year. Not only did the M’s win a crucial game against Cleveland, but they played decent defense (until that unfortunate Nelson Cruz bit in the 9th), and watched the best start of Taijuan Walker’s young career. Trevor Bauer was excellent, and made very few mistakes – but Seth Smith punished one, and that was that. That’s two games in a week where the opposing starter’s been excellent, but the M’s did enough to blank the opposition until they broke through for a couple of runs.
