The interleague series between Florida and Seattle is plagued by scheduling problems, first being moved across the country because of a concert by the rock band U2 in Miami, and then seeing the start of today’s game delayed until 7:05 pm – the latest ever for a Sunday night game at Safeco Field – because the Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer are playing an afternoon game and municipal authorities do not have the capacity to deal with simultaneous sporting events in neighboring locations. The game itself ends on a wacky play, as the Mariners’ Dustin Ackley scores the winning run on a wild pitch by Steve Cishek in the 10th inning.
