SEATTLE (AP): Spirits were high in the Golden State clubhouse today as the Grizzlies celebrated their first series win in a long time, sealed today with a 3-0 defeat of the surprising Seattle Mariners.

"Some days, everything just works, and that was today for me", Grizzlies starter Felipe Paulino said in a postgame interview. He worked hard in his 115 pitch outing, striking out 8 but managing to keep the 5 bases on balls from hurting him. "The guys came up big with those three double plays, too," Paulino noted.

The Grizzlies matched their defense with an effective offense, begun by Maicer Izturis in the top of the first with an RBI triple to drive home Erick Aybar, who led off the game with a single. Nate Schierholtz followed with an RBI single of his own, and Mariners starter Kevin Millwood found himself behind for good after only three batters faced.

Daniel Ray Herrera came on with two outs in the ninth to strike out red-hot Mariners rookie Dustin Ackley to strand Mike Carp and save the game for Paulino.
