Game thread: Can 'Safeco Joe' expand his Mariners contribution?

Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — This is a big start for "Safeco Joe" Saunders today. His home-road splits have become a bit of a running joke, but nobody on the Mariners is laughing and Saunders sure isn't. Saunders is 9-0 with a 1.72 ERA in 13 career starts at Safeco Field. He's 3-0 with an 0.94 ERA in four starts there this season. Problem is, he's 0-4 with a 12.54 ERA on the road. For the Mariners to be a winning team and contend this season, they need more stability after the top two guys in the rotation. Saunders is being paid $6.5 million to provide some of that stability, but, so far, as you can see, he's been rather ...

Franklin Gutierrez to be used often in right field during rehab stint

Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — We're a couple of hours from gametime and Michael Saunders is getting a rare day off for the Mariners, having played 15 games in a row. Saunders has looked tired at the plate his last two games, so the rest comes at a good time. You can expect to see Saunders playing a lot of center field going forward, perhaps even once Franklin Gutierrez is ready to return off the disabled list. Gutierrez was slotted to play right field last night for Class AAA Tacoma prior to being moved to the DH spot because of slick field conditions. I asked manager Eric Wedge this morning whether we should read anything...

Extra Bases: Burns making his push

Texas Rangers Blog | ESPN Dallas — ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers reliever Cory Burns paid Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera the ultimate compliment Friday night, comparing him to an all-time great. That after Burns struck out Cabrera with a devastating changeup. Burns doesn't appear to need a confidence boost as he tries to stay in the bullpen after being called up Thursday. But he knew what it meant to get the best of the Tigers' Triple Crown man in Friday's 2-1 loss to Detroit.

First Pitch: Five fresh faces

Yankees Blog | ESPN New York — The New York Yankees are now 26-16, owners of the second-best record in the American League -- especially impressive when you consider how many players are injured at the moment, many of them stars. Several major league veterans have seemingly been revitalized by donning the pinstripes for the first time, including Travis Hafner, Lyle Overbay and Vernon Wells. But the Yankees have also gotten contributions from several unsung players, who were either backups to start the year or called up from the minors.
