Bloomquist, Mariners edge Padres

Baseball Betting Lines

06/11/2007 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Willie Bloomquist scored the go-ahead run on a Jose Lopez ground out in the ninth inning, as the Seattle Mariners won 4-3 and completed a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres at PETCO Park.

Ichiro Suzuki drove in two runs and Jamie Burke went 3-for-4 with two runs scored for the Mariners, who rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win for the seventh time in eight games.

Mike Cameron and Terrmel Sledge each homered for the Padres, who ended a six- game homestand, 3-3.

With the game tied 3-3 and San Diego's Trevor Hoffman starting the inning on the hill, Bloomquist started the ninth by reaching on a throwing error by third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff. Pinch-hitter Jose Vidro then sacrificed him to second and after Suzuki was intentionally walked, Bloomquist stole third with Lopez at the plate. Then, on a 2-1 pitch, Lopez grounded out to second, scoring Bloomquist for the winning run.

"The last month we've been playing very, very good baseball," said Bloomquist. "Everyone is contributing, doing their jobs and making us a better team...The more we win, the more we want to win."

Hoffman (2-3) suffered the loss, yielding the unearned run in a hitless frame.

"We've had three good games and came up on the short end each time -- that's tough," said San Diego manager Bud Black. "When you lose them late, like today, it's even tougher. I think this team will be fine. We've played so many close games we'll bounce back."

Miguel Batista (7-4) got the win, tossing an inning of one-hit relief. J.J. Putz tossed a perfect ninth, striking out two, for his 18th save in as many chances.

Seattle's Yuniesky Betancourt ended 0-for-4 to see his 20-game hit streak come to an end.

The Mariners got going in the third inning. Burke singled to start the frame, moved to third on a base hit by Bloomquist and scored when Hernandez reached on a bunt.

The Padres answered in the fourth when Cameron hit a solo homer and Sledge connected for a two-run shot.

Seattle, tough, tied the game in the seventh. Richie Sexson started the inning with a single and moved to second when Burke came through with a one-out base hit. After pinch-hitter Ben Broussard was hit by a pitch, Suzuki singled to plate a pair of runners and force San Diego starter Chris Young from the game.

Young was charged with three runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. His counterpart, Felix Hernandez allowed three runs on seven hits in six frames, striking out six and walking one.

Game Notes

Jose Cruz and Khalil Greene each ended 2-for-4 for the Padres...The Mariners are 3-0 on their current 10-game road trip.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
