Clement homers in Mariners' loss
03/07/2006
Mariners at the plate: The Mariners erased a 3-0 deficit before the Brewers pulled away in the seventh. Willie Bloomquist and Raul Ibanez led the way by going 2-for-3 apiece, and Jeff Clement hit a two-run home run in the ninth.
Brewers at the plate: Tied through six and a half innings, the Brewers erupted for 11 runs in the bottom of the seventh to open up a rout. J.J. Hardy snapped a 3-3 tie when he crushed a two-run home run and Tony Gwynn, Jr. also homered in the frame, Gwynn's second in as many days. Corey Hart put the Brewers on the board with a two-run home run in the second inning on a windy day at Maryvale Baseball Park.
Mariners on the mound: Right-handed phenom Felix Hernandez worked a scoreless first inning but was touched for three in the second as Mariners pitchers continued to struggle this spring. In the seventh, Marcos Carvajal (0-1) and Mike Bumstead combined to surrender 11 earned runs on six hits, three walks and a hit batter.
Brewers on the mound: Tomo Ohka started and allowed a hit in two scoreless innings of work. Closer Derrick Turnbow pitched the ninth and surrendered Clement's high home run after a one-out walk, but struck out the game's final two batters. Carlos Villanueva (1-0) got the win.
Cactus League records: Mariners 1-4; Brewers 5-2.
Up next: The Mariners split up Wednesday to take on the Giants at 12:05 p.m. PT and Ichiro Suzuki's World Baseball Classic Japanese squad at 6:05 p.m. PT. The Brewers, meanwhile, stay home to host the Kansas City Royals at Maryvale Baseball Park. Dave Bush is scheduled to start for Milwaukee against Joe Mays.
