We were locked into a pitchers' duel through three innings (no surprise here), but Brandon McCarthy has finally blinked, surrendering a homerun to Dustin Ackley in the top of the fourth. The A's have a single from Jemile and absolutely nothing else. The A's got him to third, but couldn't bring him home. The Mariners lead 1-0, and the A's badly need to ge to Felix. We're going to the bottom of the fourth.
