David Phelps gave up two home runs for the Mariners, who at least saw four scoreless innings by Marco Gonzales in the loss to Oakland.

In a news conference to discuss his one-year contract with the Mariners, Ichiro was more sentimental. The 44-year-old recognizes that his role in the game has changed irrevocably and appears eager to embrace a leadership role. ‘I want to just give it all right here in Seattle.’

Seattle finalized a $750,000, one-year deal with 44-year-old Japanese star Ichiro Suzuki, who can earn an additional $1.25 million in bonuses. He spent the first 11 major league season with the Mariners, earning 2001 AL Rookie of the Year and MVP, winning a pair of batting titles and becoming a 10-time All-Star. He was traded to the New York Yankees midway through 2012, played parts of three seasons with the Yankees, then spent three seasons with Miami. Suzuki has a .312 average and 3,080 hits.

Mike Zunino crushed his first homer of the spring, but it wasn't enough for the Mariners in a 3-2 in a 3-2 loss to the Rockies on Monday.

The Seattle Mariners are running out of healthy outfielders. To the rescue – Ichiro?

The Mariners slugged their way past the Texas Rangers, 10-7, before a crowd of 6,607 on Sunday at Surprise Stadium.

After spending the first part of his career backing up Anthony Rizzo in Chicago, Dan Vogelbach finally had an opportunity to rake when the Mariners traded reliever Mike Montgomery for him toward the end of the 2016 season. But instead of thinking “let’s do this,” he thought “don’t blow it.”

Marco Gonzales was solid in his second start, tossing three shutout innings. He hasn't allowed a run this spring.

The Mariners want to get Zunino comfortable at the plate, so he'll DH in Seattle's game against the Brewers on Friday to get some extra at-bats.

To those that don't know, it was just one inning in a Cactus League game. To reliever Ryan Cook, it was triumph over two years of injuries.

The Mariners couldn't hold a 3-1 lead going into the eighth inning.
