ARLINGTON, Texas – No no-hitter on Tuesday for Hisashi Iwakuma, but he delivered seven strong innings for the Mariners on a sweltering night in a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park. That meant a bullpen still recovering from a weekend shellacking in Boston only needed to cover two innings. Danny Farquhar and Carson Smith did so.
Hisashi Iwakuma followed his no-hitter by limiting Texas to two runs and five hits over seven innings as the Seattle Mariners beat the Rangers 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Fernando Rodney walked Adrian Beltre with one out in the ninth inning to force in winning run and give Texas a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night for the Rangers’ fifth straight win.
BOSTON – Of course eight runs wouldn’t be enough. Heck, the Mariners scored 10 runs on Saturday and still lost by a dozen. Still, scoring eight runs in nine innings Sunday against the Red Sox shouldn’t have left them grasping for victory and forcing them to play bonus frames.
Friday: When you were in college, did anyone, other than your parents, care if you passed your math test? Vernon Adams takes one final math test as an undergraduate and ESPN is ready to broadcast the results. Which tells you something. About us.
BOSTON – Just three days after Hisashi Iwakuma dazzled in throwing a no-hitter, the Mariners and their ace, Felix Hernandez, hit bottom Saturday in a 22-10 annihilation by the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. They’d better hope it was bottom, anyway.
BOSTON – Kyle Seager knows the numbers, knows they’re not pretty and doesn’t know why. Seager is the front end of the big three at the heart of the Mariners’ lineup, but he is batting just .170 with runners in scoring position, including .143 with two outs and runners in scoring position.
BOSTON — Mike Montgomery was no match for the emotionally charged Boston Red Sox.
Several hours after learning of manager John Farrell’s cancer diagnosis, the Red Sox hit the Seattle Mariners rookie hard on the way to a 15-1 victory Friday night.
SEATTLE — After years of waiting, the drought finally ended thanks to the Seattle Mariners’ Hisashi Iwakuma. No, not Iwakuma becoming just the second Japanese pitcher to throw a no-hitter in Major League Baseball — as important an accomplishment as that was — joining Hideo Nomo in exclusive company when he shut down the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.
Hisashi Iwakuma became the second Japanese-born pitcher in major league history to throw a no-hitter, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 3-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.
OK, somehow it turned out well. The Mariners rescued themselves Tuesday night from their increasingly combustible bullpen by pulling out a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in 10 innings.
