Kazuhiro Sasaki
In the ninth, Bell lined out to left, Ichiro singled up the middle, and McLemore was caught looking on a slider. Paul Shuey relieved Rincón to face Martínez, who turned an inside pitch into a home run, high and deep down the left field line, to put the Mariners up 6–2. Boone singled and stole second, but Olerud struck out. Seattle closer Kazuhiro Sasaki retired the Indians in order: González was caught looking, Thome fanned, and Burks popped up to second to end the game, forcing a deciding Game 5 in Seattle on Monday afternoon.
