Both Ryan Rowland-Smith and Rich Thompson saw their first major league action for 08 on Saturday (AEST). However, much like Peter Moylan's first outing of the summer, theirs were games they'd probably rather forget.
Rowland-Smith faced three batters, giving up 2 hits and a run in the 7th inning as the M's went down to the Orioles. He only threw 7 pitches, giving up a single and a double. The M's bullpen let them down in this one, and really let the game get away.
Rich Thompson pitched the 8th inning, and gave up 4 hits, 5 runs and 2 walks, facing 9 batters. He seemed to struggle with his control, with only 23 of his 41 pitches strikes. The game was already away from the Angels when he entered, but this is not the ideal start. The Angels rallied and scored 6 in the bottom of the 9th but lost 11-6 to the Rangers.
