MARINERS

Mike Hargrove made some changes in the lineup Saturday night at it worked. Richie Sexson, Yunieksy Betancourt and Raul Ibanez got the night off for varying reasons. Subs Ben Broussard and Jason Ellison each had two hits and Horacio Ramirez continued his excellent Safeco Field pitching.

Here are the game stories, starting with the Times and continuing with the News Tribune and the Herald. Also, here is the San Diego Union-Tribune story.

• Felix Hernandez is back on the mound today (1:05; KSKN-22; 920-AM) against Justin Germano as the M's try to win another series.

• Being that it's Sunday, there are a lot of stories worth linking to, including this one about former M's pitcher Ryan Franklin and this John Sleeper column. Larry Stone also has his baseball power rankings.

The question of the day:

• Do you remember a pitcher ever having such success at home and so much trouble on the road as Ramirez as had this season?
