The victory wasn't assured until Patterson unleashed a throw from left field that nailed Josh Wilson at the plate for the final out. Wilson tried to score from second on Ichiro Suzuki's single.
Patterson, who also homered, was in the midst of a postgame television interview when he received a shaving cream pie to the face from teammate Will Ohman.
Nice touch that the pie was flung by Will Ohman, who has given up 8 hits and 7 walks in 11 innings, with an ERA of 0.00. Does Corey Patterson win games? Corey Patterson just won this one. Welcome back to the majors, Corey Patterson!
