#216---SEA @ CLE, 8/5/2003


 

Two excellent lefties with very different styles matched up in this one – Jamie Moyer (7 IP, 1 W, 6 K) got the better of CC Sabathia (8 IP, 2 W, 4 K). Despite the velocity difference, Sabathia didn’t get his first K until he got Edgar Martinez leading off the sixth.

The most interesting play of the game was the first one. Ichiro tripled on a groundball down the right field line, and somehow when the ball was returned to the infield, Travis Hafner threw it away, allowing Ichiro to complete the little league homer. While Seattle would score just one more run, they had ten hits for the game (although their only other run came on a bases loaded walk drawn by John Olerud), while Cleveland would muster just three.
