The Seattle Mariners, based in Seattle, Washington, participate in Major League Baseball (MLB) and are a member of the American League West Division. The Mariners were founded in 1977.
ARLINGTON — With so few good things to say about the first eight innings of Thursday night's series opener against the Rangers, Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu talked mostly about the ninth inning. "It really wasn't much of a game, until the end," Wakamatsu said. One day after getting 11 hits off Blue Jays right-hander Roy [...]
SEATTLE — For yet another time, Ken Griffey Jr. delivered in a big spot against a tough pitcher Wednesday in the Mariners' 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays at Safeco Field. Griffey, who has had much of his Seattle career built around the dramatic hit, stroked a two-run double off Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay [...]
SEATTLE — Jarrod Washburn continued to show why several teams, including the Mariners, would want him in their starting rotation the remainder of the season. Washburn, involved in recent trade rumors, held the Blue Jays in check for seven innings before departing with a two-run lead on Tuesday night, only to watch the visitors tie [...]
SEATTLE — The Mariners are mired in a losing streak that not even ace right-hander Felix Hernandez could stop on Monday night. The All-Star pitcher surrendered a season-high seven runs over 5 2/3 innings and had his personal seven-game winning streak end in the Mariners' 11-4 loss to the Blue Jays before 28,696 at Safeco [...]
SEATTLE — These are turning into trying times for the Seattle Mariners. After blowout losses on Friday and Saturday, the Mariners were again buried by a sub-par Indians team, this time in a 12-3 defeat at Safeco Field on Sunday that gave the Tribe a series sweep and kept the Mariners a distant 7 1/2 [...]
SEATTLE — In the fifth inning of another blowout loss to the one of the American League's worst teams, Mariners reliever Chris Jakubauskas responded to a Cleveland home run by drilling Indians catcher Ben Francisco with a first-pitch fastball. Both benches cleared, words were exchanged and that was about it. "Probably frustration," Indians manager Eric [...]
SEATTLE — As his teammates tried and were unable to do anything against Indians starter Aaron Laffey on Friday night, Ryan Rowland-Smith's chances of winning his first start back with the Mariners were slim from the get-go. Two Cleveland home runs in the seventh inning made it just about impossible. And by the time Ryan [...]
DETROIT — The adage in baseball is that pitching and defense win championships. The last two days in Detroit proved that those attributes can at least win a pair of important games in late July. Seattle recorded its second 2-1 victory over Detroit in as many days thanks to another strong start from one of [...]
DETROIT — It often is the case in baseball that an offensive outburst one day is followed by a pitching duel the next. So it could be said that Seattle feels good about winning a game in which it recorded just two hits, the second of which came on a 415-foot homer that was the [...]
DETROIT — Garrett Olson may not want to visit Detroit again anytime soon. Franklin Gutierrez won't have fond memories of Detroit either, but for a different reason. However, plenty of other Seattle hitters are looking forward to returning to the ballpark Wednesday. A 13-hit outburst on Tuesday wasn't enough, as the Mariners spotted the Tigers [...]
