Justin Smoak veered onto the outfield grass after touching second, and began to sprint. A mob of teammates were after him, with a distinct speed advantage over the lumbering Smoak. "Think it's the fastest I've ran all year," Smoak said. Smoak was on the move to avoid a celebratory pummeling after his one-out single in the bottom of the ninth scored pinch-runner Munenori Kawasaki from second, when the throw home hit Kawasaki in the back, giving the Mariners a 2-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday in front of 40,603, the second-largest crowd of the season.
