The Mariners set the all-time win record in 2001, but the Indians shut them
out in the playoff opener behind eight shutout innings from Bartolo Colon, who
struck out ten and walked two. The only time Seattle
got a runner in scoring position with less than two outs came when Ichiro
doubled in the eighth; Colon then
fanned Mark McLemore and got Bret Boone to foul to catcher. Bob Wickman got a
popout and two Ks to close it.
Cleveland’s big inning was the
fourth, with the first six batters reaching off Freddy Garcia to plate three.
Three consecutive infield hits would produce a run in the sixth, and Ellis
Burks capped the scoring with a solo shot to leadoff the eighth.
