"Tonight we looked good." And lost, 2-1 to the California Angels. Now the Seattle Mariners are 0-4 and so frustrated they're talking about worms. "Did you see that game? Omar Vizquel hits a shot at the pitcher, Darnell Coles hits a shot right at shortstop, Alvin Davis hits a line drive at the right fielder," Lefebvre said. "How do you explain those things? You can't, but sooner or later, the worm is going to turn. Sooner or later, we're going to find a few holes." Against Kirk McCaskill and reliever Bryan Harvey, the Mariners got their swings but no results. Five hits, two in an inning just once. Yet they were in this one to the very last swing, largely because of a gritty effort by rookie Erik Hanson. Making his first start of the season, Hanson pitched into the seventh inning but retired the side in order just once. In all, he bobbed and weaved through five hits and two walks, and when he left after walking Lance Parrish to open the seventh inning, he was in a 1-1 tie. "The kid pitched super," Lefebvre said. "You hold someone to two runs, you should win. We should have won, but they pitched just as well." And with the game on the line, the Angels pitched just a little better. Mike Jackson came in to relieve Hanson and got two quick outs, one a sacrifice bunt that moved Parrish into scoring position. Then Jackson got ahead of Brian Downing, 0-2. "I tried to throw a pitch away to him, to set up a pitch inside," Jackson said. "He was looking away, but the mistake was I got the pitch high - out of the strike zone, but high. It should have been low." Whatever it should have been, it wound up as a single into right field that drove home Parrish and made Hanson a loser. "I pitched terrible, and it's not a good feeling," Hanson said. "You don't come away from a loss saying how well you pitched. You come away feeling rotten." Most of the Mariners' starting lineup feels the same way. So far this season, they've scored seven runs in four games. "I don't ever remember a team in a slump hitting so many balls so hard," Davis said. "You've got some frustrated guys in here." Typical of the night - and maybe the season thus far - was Vizquel's seventh inning at-bat with runners on first and third and the game still tied. McCaskill threw him a fastball, and the rookie shortstop lined it back up the middle - a shot hit so hard McCaskill never saw it, he said. No matter. The ball struck his glove, caromed oddly toward third base, and Jack Howell threw Vizquel out to end the inning. There were other balls hit as hard for outs, including a few by the Angels. Ken Griffey Jr. made a highlight-film catch in the sixth inning, slamming into the wall in right center to steal an extra-base hit from Claudell Washington. At the plate, Griffey was 0-for-3 with a sacrifice bunt and now is hitless for his last 14 at-bats - and accutely aware of it. "I told Alvin, I keep thinking one play, one catch, one swing is going to turn it around, maybe for all of us," Griffey said. It might, but for Griffey that swing won't come tonight. Not against Jim Abbott. "I'm going to sit the kid down, let Henry Cotto get some at-bats," Lefebvre said. "This thing's gonna turn around, and so is Kenny, but we're all gonna have to turn it around, not just one guy." Mariners Notes -- Harold Reynolds drove home the only Seattle run on a third-inning single, but with runners at first and second, Griffey popped out, Davis lined out and Coles hit a one-hop blur that SS Dick Schofield turned into the third out.
