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.
SEATTLE — As if facing American League Cy Young contender Zack Greinke isn't daunting enough, the Mariners had to do it on Sunday without the services of four starters. Their patchwork lineup was just fine against Gil Meche on Saturday in an 8-4 beating. But against Greinke? The team could have used Ichiro Suzuki, or [...]
SEATTLE — The Mariners have had so many injuries this season that many of potential callups in September already have been called up. Therefore, when rosters are expanded on Tuesday, it is highly unlikely that the current 25-man roster will change all that much. Both general manager Jack Zduriencik and manager Don Wakamatsu have indicated [...]
SEATTLE — Mike Sweeney continued his hot hitting with a two-run double in the Mariners' four-run first inning on Saturday night, getting Seattle off and running to an 8-4 victory over the Royals before 26,457 at Safeco Field. Jack Hannahan, starting his first game of the season at first base in place of the injured [...]
SEATTLE — Once again, it looks like some injury issues are going to translate into good fortune for journeyman infielder Josh Wilson. Wilson batted second and played third base in the Mariners' game against Kansas City on Saturday, moving into the spot because third baseman Jack Hannahan — who, incidentally, has been backing up the [...]
SEATTLE — Felix Hernandez held the Royals to three runs over seven innings for his 13th victory, and Bill Hall and Josh Wilson combined to drive in four runs in the Mariners' 6-3 win on Friday in front of 26,714 at Safeco Field. Seattle got a little creative to score its first two runs. Power-hitting [...]
SEATTLE — Who knew it'd be the Kansas City Royals that would bring Doug Fister back to Earth? Impressive in his first three starts with the Mariners, Fister allowed only five hits to the Royals on Thursday — but three of them were home runs and the team with the worst record in the American [...]
SEATTLE — Four home runs by the visiting team on Thursday snapped Seattle's three-game winning streak, as the Royals beat Mariners, 8-4, in front of 19,345 at Safeco Field. Brayan Pena gave the Royals the lead in the second inning with a two-run home run that landed just over the fence and just inside the [...]
SEATTLE — At age 22, Michael Saunders is the youngest player on the Mariners roster. And if you need a reminder of just how young that is compared to some of his teammates, take note of the fact that when Saunders played in the 1999 Little League World Series for his Victoria, B.C., team as [...]
SEATTLE — Jose Lopez hit a two-run home run and Jack Hannahan scored three runs on Wednesday night, leading the Mariners to a series-sweeping, 5-3, victory over the Athletics before 18,695 at Safeco Field. It was the third series sweep of the season for Seattle (66-61), two of them against Oakland. The Mariners also swept [...]
SEATTLE — The Mariners might not make the playoffs, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to provide a little drama for anyone who sticks around to watch the end of their games. Ryan Langerhans' two-run, walk-off home run in the 10th inning on Tuesday gave the Mariners their 11th walk-off victory this season, [...]
