Seattle's only run came thanks to Brendan Ryan's aggressive baserunning. He led off the third with his first hit in 10 at-bats against Jeremy Hellickson (7-8), a sharp single to left. He was still at first with two outs when he got a great jump on a curveball that bounced in the dirt and escaped Lobaton. Ryan never hesitated at second and made it all the way to third. He then jogged home when Jesus Montero followed with a single to left. Unlike Cain's perfect game in June, Hernandez didn't need the help of a career-high in strikeouts or spectacular catches. The closest to defensive highlights in this one were Eric Thames running down Sam Fuld's drive to right-center leading off the game and Ryan throwing out B.J. Upton on a grounder into the shortstop hole in the seventh.
