 SEATTLE (AP) - Ryan Feierabend has a tattoo of a screaming baseball with flames trailing on his pitching shoulder. That's how the ball must have looked to Seattle's rookie left-hander on the two long homers he allowed in the first four innings.
But the 21-year-old Feierabend allowed one single over his final four innings to earn his first career win behind Jose Lopez's four hits. Lopez's three-run double highlighted a five-run fourth and put the Mariners ahead for good in an 11-6 victory over the bumbling Texas Rangers on Sunday.
"It's incredible — and my contacts are burning," Feierabend said, wiping the shaving cream from closer J.J. Putz's celebratory pie out of his eyes after allowing seven hits and striking out five in 7 1-3 innings.
