Friday, June 1, 2001 (W: SEA 8 - TB 4 41-12)

Jamie Moyer picked up his 7th win tonight, leading the M's to an 8-4 victory of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Mariners have now won a season-high nine straight. The club record is ten in a row, set in September of 1996.

Seattle scored a quick two in the bottom of the first, on a double by Boone. Tampa Bay kept the game close, breaking up Moyer's no-hitter on a blooper that McLemore, playing left field, appeared to catch, and eventually scoring two in the fifth on a two-run double by their Right Fielder, Randy Winn.

The bullpen was the hero for the M's tonight, as Jose Paniagua, Arthur Rhodes, and Jeff Nelson combined for 4 shutout innings that allowed the Mariner bats to pull away from the D-Rays.

The crowd of 41,094 put Seattle's home attendance over 1 million in their 26th game, the fastest ever in Seattle. In 1997, the M's took 27 games to reach seven figures (and that was in the "ugly Kingdome that nobody wanted to see a game at").
