SEATTLE – The fear of incurring another injury that could keep him on the injured list combined with the frustration of having already been hit by pitches three times in his rehab stint finally bubbled over for Victor Robles.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Once the autograph signings, posing for pictures and cardboard slides down the grassy hill were over, the Mariners still had a rather important game to play on Sunday night.

BALTIMORE – Eugenio Suárez couldn’t have asked for his return to Seattle to go better, with one exception.
