SEATTLE -- There have been times during the past 17 months when right-hander Rafael Soriano wondered if Gary Sheffield would be the last batter he faced in a Major League game.

Soriano answered the question Saturday night, pitching one inning against the Orioles.

"The only trouble I had was when I tried to throw a couple of fastballs inside and I didn't get it far enough inside," Soriano said Sunday morning. "Otherwise, I had good location with my pitches and am happy about that."
So how long before hes in the at least the 8th inning.
