M’s end with defeat

LAS VEGAS – Seth Smith hit a bases-loaded RBI single off the left-field wall in the bottom of the ninth inning Saturday to give the Colorado Rockies a 6-5 win over the Seattle Mariners in the spring training finale for both.

Kenji Johjima and Yuniesky Betancourt homered for the M’s.

Seattle made a flurry of moves following the game. The M’s outrighted pitcher Jesus Delgado to Triple-A Tacoma and reassigned pitchers Tyler Johnson and Chad Cordero, infielders Chris Burke and Chris Woodward, catcher Jamie Burke and outfielder Mile Wilson to minor league camp.

Recalled from Tacoma was Matt Tuiasosopo and selected from Tacoma were pitchers Chris Jakubauskas and Shawn Kelley and infielder Mike Sweeney.
