Jason Vargas whitewashed Minnesota on 3 hits as the Seattle Mariners beat the
Minnesota Twins by a score of 4 to 0.
 
Vargas(1-0) was simply too much for the Minnesota batters.  He didn't allow
much, just 3 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings.  Both teams' bats went to sleep
after the 4th inning with no runs scored after that point.  
 
The loss was charged to Francisco Liriano(0-2).  He was not very effective,
surrendering 4 runs in 3 and 1/3 innings.  Ron Gardenhire was obviously
impressed with the pitching of Vargas, 'That guy made us look a little silly
out there this afternoon.  We just couldn't get to him at all - everything
was working for him.  I just hope that he got that kinda performance out of
his system.'
