Olson, Medina sent down

The Mariners optioned relievers Yoervis Medina and Tyler Olson to Triple-A Tacoma after Sunday’s game.

Manager Lloyd McClendon said corresponding moves will be made prior to today’s series opener against the Angels.

   “Both of those kids need to go down and get a couple of things straightened out, and they’ll be fine.” McClendon said.

Olson, from University High and Gonzaga University, was 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA after allowing eight runs and 18 hits in 13 1/3 innings in 11 games.

   Medina had seven walks in 12 innings over 12 appearances, but he had only allowed four earned runs for a 3.00 ERA.
