SEATTLE – The month of May hasn’t been merry for Seattle Mariners closer Brandon League the past two seasons, and for the second time in as many years, he’ll be taking a break from pitching in the ninth inning.
In the 12th round of the 2009 draft, the Seattle Mariners selected Andrew Carraway, a senior pitcher out of the University of Virginia.
Felix Hernandez has owned up to some bad pitches, some dismal outcomes over the years, but the grand slam he allowed Saturday that beat him?
After losing a ninth-inning lead and the game to the Los Angeles Angels last night, manager Eric Wedge decided this morning the Seattle Mariners would ‘pull back’ closer Brandon League and attempt to finish games off with other pitchers.
It was Dustin Ackley Bobblehead night at Safeco Field on Friday, an event known to most everyone in the Seattle Mariners organization except Eric Wedge – whose 48th-game lineup didn’t include the second baseman.
The Seattle Mariners survived another Albert Pujols home run, got seven gritty innings from Blake Beavan and managed to get a one-run lead to the ninth inning Friday.
One day after running for the first time in weeks, Gold Glove center fielder Franklin Gutierrez allowed himself to feel like just another player on Thursday.
Anyone wondering why the Los Angeles Angels arrived at Safeco Field as a fourth-place team needed look no further than Albert Pujols and Dan Haren.
Catcher Miguel Olivo was activated from the disabled list today, and to make room for him on the active roster, the Mariners sent outfielder Casper Wells to Triple-A Tacoma. That means there is still a place for little-used Chone Figgins with the team.
Miguel Olivo is returning to the Seattle Mariners as soon as the next few days, which means someone on the 25-man roster will have to come off.
Kevin Millwood appears to have come unstuck in time, and the Seattle Mariners won Wednesday despite being held to four hits, largely because Millwood put up six zeros on the scoreboard.
Alex Liddi hit the first grand slam of his career, and second grand slam ever by an Italian-born player, Kevin Millwood threw six shutout innings and the Seattle Mariners took two of three from division-leading Texas with a 5-3 win over the Rangers on Wednesday.
A familiar face was in the Mariners clubhouse on Tuesday and dressed in full uniform.
Maybe if the fences were just a few feet closer in, or if Josh Hamilton wasn’t quite so good, the Seattle Mariners might have extended their winning streak to five games.
The process of John Jaso becoming a viable everyday catcher with the Seattle Mariners continued Monday.
