Game 70 wrapup: A’s get blanked, and Blanco-ed

Inside the A's | Oakland Tribune — In for John Hickey this weekend … Not much novel to say about this one, other than it was a weird 4:15 p.m. start. Felix Hernandez did yet another number on the A’s. He’s 15-6 against them lifetime, 2-0 this year, and hasn’t given up a run to them in 14 2/3 innings with just [...]

Mariners clinch series win on Henry Blanco grand slam

Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — Felix Hernandez was 14 years old the last time Henry Blanco hit a grand slam. That was back on May 12, 2000 against the Pirates and Jason Schmidt. But Blanco turned the trick again today, his latest slam, coming in the sixth inning off Oakland Athletics starter A.J. Griffin, giving Hernandez and company all the offense needed for a 4-0 win. The Mariners found a way to get it done here -- albeit not the orthodox way. The gap between slams by Blanco is the fifth-longest in MLB history -- the longest being Max Carey of the Brooklyn Dodgers at 15 years, 81 days back in 1927. Hernandez did his part...

Game #70: A's vs. Seattle

Athletics Nation — Let's start right off with today's "fun fact"...Felix Hernandez has made 14 starts so far this season; in those games the Seattle Mariners are 7-7. Yes, Hernandez is great. However, you can win games started by the King -- in fact, opponents have done just that in 4 of his last 6 starts. The Mariners, you see, have scored 13 runs in the 7 games Felix has started but the team has lost. That's where A.J. Griffin comes in: He takes the ball today for the A's knowing that the margin for error is small. Overall, Felix is 7-4 with a sparkling 2.49 ERA, dwarfing Griffin's 5-5, 3.78 ERA. To wi...

Game thread: Mariners and Felix Hernandez go for series win

Seattle Times — We’ve got a rare late-afternoon start time today, with Felix Hernandez trying to guarantee his Mariners at least a series win by taking two of the first three games of this series. Hernandez is coming off a solid seven-inning effort against the New York Yankees in a no-decision last Sunday. He

Saturday’s line-ups, official game notes, updated stats and pregame Wedge video vs. the Oakland A’s

Mariners Insider | Tacoma News-Tribune — Mike Zunino is out of the line-up today. Mariners manager Eric Wedge wanted to get recent signee Henry Blanco some game action. It works out well since Blanco has caught Felix Hernandez in games before for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. Zunino has only caught Hernandez in bullpen sessions in spring training. I don’t know that he ever caught Hernandez in a Cactus League game. He may have caught him in a simulated game. We didn’t get a chance to talk to Zunino because he was busy with the strength coach while also doing some pregame … Read more »

Guess who's tied for the MLB lead in shutouts?

Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — If you'd have guessed that the shutout leaders in major-league baseball on June 11, all with two, would be Justin Masterson, Bartolo Colon, Adam Wainwright and...Aaron Harang, well, you'd be a genius. Felix Hernandez doesn't have a complete-game shutout since his perfect game on Aug. 15, 2012 -- a span off 22 starts -- while Harang now has two in his last four starts. Yeah, baseball is a funny game. Sure, it helps that he was facing a Houston team that has now lost six in a row -- their fourth six-game losing streak of the season -- and now has been shut out seven times, tops in the Ame...

Stewart’s late-inning hit gives Yankees 2-1 win over Mariners in series finale

River Ave. Blues — Three outta four ain’t bad. The Yankees managed to beat Felix Hernandez for the second time this season — technically, they beat the bullpen after he left the game, but who’s keeping track? — on Sunday, giving them three wins during their four games in Seattle. Pretty cool. The score was 2-1. Bailed Out There [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blogStewart’s late-inning hit gives Yankees 2-1 win over Mariners in series finale

Mariners should bring up Dustin Ackley to help woeful offense

Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — Desperate times call for somewhat desperate measures and the Mariners right now are about to plunge off a cliff with a cement parachute if they don't do something about this non-existent offense. The 2-1 loss they suffered today despite an excellent Felix Hernandez mound outing was all-too-predictable given the tired-looking lineup they sent out there, replete with callups, beaten-ups and role players. In they end, they managed only six hits, two of them in the final inning en route to their fourth loss in five days. At 10 games under .500 and resorting to using Endy Chavez as a pinch-hitter i...

Rapid Reaction: Yankees 2, Mariners 1

Yankees Blog | ESPN New York — SEATTLE -- As you might have expected, the Yankees got just one run off King Felix Hernandez. But as you might not have expected, Felix's Yankee counterpart David Phelps, pitched him to a standstill, allowing the Yankees to pull this one out against the Mariners bullpen in the top of the ninth. Still, the game was not without some last-second drama when Mariano Rivera had the tying run on second and the winning run on first before getting Michael Saunders to pop out, ending the game.
