Bedard earns first win with Mariners (AP)

 
Moving from Baltimore to Seattle hasn't changed Erik Bedard's mastery of Tampa Bay. The left-hander, acquired in an offseason trade, struggled through six innings but got enough support from the Mariners' sputtering offense to ruin the Rays' home opener with a 6-5 win on Tuesday night. Bedard (1-0) allowed five runs and five hits while improving to 11-3 in 19 career starts against Tampa Bay. (link)
