- M’s reliever Marc Rzepczynski got to feel whole again Saturday.
He pitched a full inning in Seattle’s 9-2 victory over Tampa Bay.
That is usually not the case for the left-hander, who primarily comes in to face a batter or two - guys who hit from the left side - late in the ballgame.
But on Saturday, Rzepczynski came on to pitch the eighth inning, and faced two right-handed hitters right off the bat - infielder Daniel Robertson and catcher Derek Norris.
Rzepczynski walked Robertson before getting Norris to line out to centerfielder Guillermo Heredia for the first out.
