M. Batista goes beyond five, tires: Mariners SP Miguel Batista allowed two runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings Friday at Toronto, but he did not factor in the decision. He walked two and struck out two. "He was fine; he was just gassed," manager Jim Riggleman said. "I asked him, and he was honest with me. He said 'I'm pretty tired.'" (Updated 07/26/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Batista hadn't pitched more than 2 2/3 innings in a game since June 7, so his fatigue shouldn't have come as a surprise. With a 6.67 ERA, he remains nothing more than a low-end AL-only option. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday at Texas. (Updated 07/26/2008).
