Seattle Mariners – Carter Capps got the call in the 8th inning last night with the Mariners protecting a one run lead.  Capps ended up giving up the game tying run but prior to last night he had a 7.2 inning scoreless streak.   The young hard throwing righty has the stuff to close and should continue to be used in the later innings for the Mariners.  Hierarchy change: Carter Capps to 2nd in line, replacing Charlie Furbush.
