Brandon McCarthy retired 10 batters on strikeouts at SAFECO Field as the
Tacoma Rainiers beat the lifeless D.C. Bulldogs in 15 innings 4 to 3.
 
The game was deadlocked at 3 after nine full innings.  Finally, Tacoma pulled
the game out in the 15th inning.  Omar Infante slapped a one-base hit.  After
another out, Luis Ayala got his chance to keep things going, but he went down
on strikes.  Jose Tabata then singled.  Tyler Chatwood then uncorked a pitch
that was ruled a passed ball giving Tacoma the win as 40,360 happy fans
joyfully celebrated.  Neither team was able to score until the 6th inning.
 
The victory was credited to Ayala(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Chatwood(3-7) was tagged with the loss in relief.  He surrendered 2 hits and
no walks in 2/3 of an inning.  
 
'It's been a rough ride lately, but this was a good win for us' said Michael
Swanson, 'Maybe this will put us back on track.'
