"Frank Francisco blew his second straight save chance to start the season, allowing three runs in the ninth inning as the Seattle Mariners rallied to a 4-3 victory over the Texas Rangers at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Matt Harrison allowed one run in six innings, and Nelson Cruz homered again to put the Rangers on the verge of beating Feliz Hernandez and sending Seattle to a 1-5 start to the season. The Rangers almost got something going in the ninth, but Franklin Gutierrez leaped to possibly take a home run away from Elvis Andrus near the Rangers' bullpen in right-center field. Gutierrez had the game-winning hit in the top of the inning. Francisco, called upon to preserve a 3-1 lead, allowed a single and a walk to start the ninth, and the runners moved to second and third after a Jack Wilson sacrifice bunt. Ichiro Suzuki then singled to make it 3-2, and pinch-hitter Ken Griffey brought home the tying run with a single as Suzuki moved to third. That was it for Francisco."
