The Mariners were winners for us Monday night, and I'm going right back to them -- simply a different team at home. Top M's pitching prospect George Kirby wasn't very good last time out but that was against a Red Sox lineup in Boston that is miles better than Oakland's lineup. In his lone home start thus far, Kirby blanked Tampa Bay over six innings. Oh, and Seattle has won 13 consecutive games against the A's, a franchise record for most consecutive wins against a single opponent.
