Joe Saunders worked eight innings and allowed one run Wednesday versus the Mariners at Safeco. Saunders should offer the Mariners his services for free in order to pitch at Safeco next season; it'd likely pay off in his next contract. He wasn't involved in the decision tonight, but he's 6-0 with a 1.96 ERA in 55 innings lifetime in Seattle.
