Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2009 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Woodward knocked in the deciding run in the ninth inning as Seattle clipped Boston, 3-2, in the middle contest of three at Fenway Park.

Russell Branyan added a pair of RBI for the Mariners, who have won three consecutive games.

Roy Corcoran (2-0) hurled 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief for the win. David Aardsma turned in a perfect final frame to notch his 17th save.

Jason Varitek's two-run homer was the only offense for the Red Sox, who have dropped the first two games in the series. Takashi Saito (2-2) was saddled with the loss after allowing the game-winning run with three walks in the ninth.

Saito began the fateful inning by walking Ken Griffey Jr., and two batters later walked Ryan Langerhans. Kenji Johjima followed with another base on balls before Woodward dumped a single to right which scored Wladimir Balentien, who was pinch-running for Griffey.

Aardsma retired the Sox in order in the home half to lock up the win.

Varitek's two-run shot in the second gave the Sox the early lead, but Branyan doubled home Ichiro Suzuki for a 2-1 game in the third.

A base hit from Woodward and a bunt single from Ronny Cedeno preceded a line out, then a sacrifice fly from Branyan evened the score in the fifth.

Game Notes

The Mariners have won four of five meetings in 2009...Seattle starter Garrett Olson yielded four hits and two runs over 6 1/3 innings, while Boston hurler Brad Penny allowed six hits and a pair of runs over six full frames.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
