Catcher Rob Johnson and pitcher Jarrod Washburn have had three days to do nothing but study Twins hitters and plan their approach today.

"Don (Wakamatsu) told us before the first game when I'd be catching, and who," Johnson said. "That let Jarrod and I sit on the bench for three games and talk about hitters and how to attack them."

Now, we'll see if planning helps.

Two Outs, Here They Come

The Mariners have been impressive with two outs in this series, and Adrian Beltre's two-out single scored Franklin Guttierrez in the first inning to give Washburn a lead.

In their three-plus games here, the Mariners scored 17 runs - nine of them with two outs.Mariners 1, Twins coming up.

Now that's a center fielder

The game has just started, and Franklin Guttierrez has dominated it. His double set up the only run, and his diving catch robbed Alexi Casilla of extra bases when the Twins were batting.
