ANAHEIM — Jose Lopez hit a game-tying three-run home run in the ninth inning and Wladimir Balentien scored the winning run in the 10th to give the Mariners a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Angels in front of 39,329 at Angel Stadium on Saturday. Lopez hit his second home run in as many nights, and [...]
ANAHEIM — Jason Vargas certainly is making a case to stay in the Mariners rotation after his fourth straight effective start. The left-hander silenced the Angels on Friday by allowing just two runs on four hits over 6 1/3 innings to lead the Mariners to a 5-2 win in front of 38,492 at Angel Stadium. [...]
Mariners first baseman Russell Branyan has learned the hard way during his well-traveled 11-year Major League career that opinions are tough to overcome. "Everybody has an opinion, and in this game of baseball you are at the mercy of a lot of people's opinion," he said. "Some people's opinion means more than others. I have [...]
OAKLAND — It took a while, but the Mariners solved their runners-in-scoring-position woes Wednesday afternoon. The first three batters that came to bat in the ninth inning with a runner on either second or third base delivered a hit, providing the final two runs in a 6-1 victory over the Athletics before 30,012 at the [...]
OAKLAND — Results from the first round of voting for the All-Star Game starters indicate that fellow Mariners Ichiro Suzuki and Ken Griffey Jr. could become All-Star Game teammates for the first time in their careers.

OAKLAND — The first three starts left-hander Jason Vargas has made for the Mariners have been spectacular. The only way the opposition has scored off him is by hitting three solo home runs, including one by Giants leadoff man Aaron Rowand in Vargas' last start. It was the only run Vargas surrendered during his seven-inning [...]
OAKLAND — The way left-hander Jarrod Washburn handled the Athletics on Tuesday night, the tumble Mike Sweeney took at third base in the first inning seemed much less significant than it turned out. The run that should have scored loomed large seven innings later, when the Athletics greeted the usually reliable Mariners bullpen with patience [...]
OAKLAND — The Mariners dipped deeper into their farm system than expected on Tuesday to find a replacement for injured catcher Kenji Johjima, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured left big toe. Guillermo Quiroz was promoted from Double-A West Tennessee to serve as a backup to Rob Johnson, and he [...]
SEATTLE — Before Ichiro Suzuki made the smooth transition from the Pacific League to the American League in 2001, the Mariners' right-field position was in the capable hands of Jay Buhner for 13 years. The "Bone Yard" became a party place in the right field bleachers at the Kingdome. Fans shaved their heads so they [...]
OAKLAND — Ichiro Suzuki had his first four-hit game of the season on Memorial Day, and for the first time, is on pace to have his ninth consecutive 200-hit season. No one in Major League history has done that. Ichiro also has scored at least 100 runs in each of his eight campaigns with the [...]
