Best Moment: Andrés Muñoz puts up a three strikeout save

Andrés Muñoz is one of my favorite players on the Mariners he might be one of yours too. I was a little bummed that despite making the team, he didn't get an opportunity to pitch for the AL All-Star team. Luckily, we in Seattle get to watch him pitch on the regular. In the final game of the series, he managed to record his 16th save of the year and did it in style striking out the side.

With all of the offensive disappointments this year, the pitching continues to produce gems at an unprecedented rate. They don't exactly cancel each other out but hey, at least there's something to root for.
