"Eight shutout innings from Doug Fister - remarkable! - and the Seattle Mariners might have wasted them all had it not been for one swing from Milton Bradley.

That swing produced his eighth-inning, three-run home run, and if it left him as cautious with the media as ever, it left Fister positively giddy.

"We needed one thing to go right," Fister said. "We're on a roll now."

Well, at 3-6, a win is something of a roll. And the way it came about certainly left a crowd of 18,043 happy. After the game, Mike Sweeney did his serious speech about team - then watched the Mariners dump beer all over Bradley's head."
