SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez took a shutout into the eighth inning, Mike Zunino and Brad Miller both homered and the Seattle Mariners held on for a 6-4 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. Hernandez (3-0) struck out 11 and shut down Oakland for the second time in a week, becoming the first Mariners pitcher to win three times in the first nine games of a season. With the usual "Kings Court" for Hernandez home starts expanded to a "Supreme Court" encompassing the entire stadium with yellow shirts and "K" cards, Hernandez gave up four hits in the 28th double-digit strikeout game of his career. Zunino chased starter Tommy Milone (0-1) with a two-run shot in the sixth. Miller followed two batters later with a solo homer to centre field with the wind blowing in. Hernandez was charged with two runs and walked none. He has 30 strikeouts against two walks in his three starts. Hernandezs first home start of 2014 was his best performance in the young season. All three of Oaklands four hits off Hernandez came in the span of five batters in the fourth and fifth. Jed Lowries one-out single in the fourth was Oaklands first hit, and Josh Donaldson followed with an infield single. Hernandez pitched out of the jam with strikeouts of Brandon Moss and Yoenis Cespedes. Alberto Callaspo doubled to lead off the fifth and advanced to third on Robinson Canos two-out error at second base. Hernandez struck out Sam Fuld looking to end the inning. Hernandez struck out the side in the seventh, but Daric Barton was hit on the foot by a curveball and Eric Sogard singled to open the eighth. That was it for Hernandez, and Seattles bullpen was shaky. Lucas Luetge walked his only batter. Danny Farquhar walked Lowrie on a 3-2 pitch to score Barton. Brandon Moss added a broken-bat single off Charlie Furbush for the second run charged to Hernandez, and Cespedes beat out a potential double play to score another. Furbush threw a wild pitch that Fuld scored on to cut the deficit to 6-4, but Callaspo popped out to end the rally. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his third save. The Mariners needed only three pitches to get to Milone, who was making his first start of the season after postponements caused his turn to be skipped. Abraham Almonte doubled on the first pitch of the game, Miller followed with a bunt single and Canos infield hit gave Seattle a 1-0 lead. Seattle appeared to add another in the fourth when Kyle Seager was ruled to have hit a solo homer down the right field line. The play was reviewed by umpires and the ball was called foul. But Seattle scored twice in the inning when Donaldson and Lowrie committed two-out errors after Dustin Ackleys double. Milone gave up 10 hits and three earned runs in his season debut. NOTES: Oakland OF Coco Crisp did not start for the fourth straight game due to a sore wrist. He pinch-hit in the ninth. ... The As will likely activate OF Craig Gentry from the disabled list Saturday, manager Bob Melvin said. ... Ackley became the first Seattle batter with three hits in a game this season. ... Seattle is still unsure of its starter for Tuesday in Texas. Manager Lloyd McClendon expected a decision before Saturdays game. Likely options are RHP Blake Beavan coming up from Triple-A or RHP Taijuan Walker being activated from the DL. . The deal will pay Hainsey $3 million for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons and $2.5 million in 2016-17. .Those stars, most notably the top line of James van Riemsdyk, Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel, struggled against the Montreal Canadiens and must be better as the Leafs look ahead to facing the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers this weekend. http://www.usasoccerauthority.com/anton ... sa-jersey/. -- Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe was alert and recovering at a Denver hospital Saturday after suffering seizure-like symptoms when the teams bus pulled into the airport Friday afternoon for the flight to Kansas City. . -- One shot came out of bottom of a cactus, the other from the base of a desert bush with rocks scattered around it. . Terms of the contract were not disclosed by the club. Clemons spent his first five NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2009 draft out of Clemson.Maui, HI (SportsNetwork.com) - Jimmy Walker kept his share of the lead on Sunday and he was joined there by Hideki Matsuyama as the pair ended three rounds two strokes clear of the field at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Walker posted a 6-under 67 in round three, while Matsuyamas 66 was the low round of the day. The duo ended 54 holes at 17-under-par 202. Walker won three times in the 2013-14 season and Matsuyama earned his first PGA Tour win at the Memorial. Patrick Reed, a two-time winner last season, carded a 5-under 68. He finished alongside Sang-Moon Bae (69) in third place at minus-15. Brendon Todd (69) and Russell Henley (70) share fifth place at 14-under-par 205. Bubba Watson posted his best round of the week, a 5-under 68, and he climbed into a tie for seventh at minus-12. He was joined there by Robert Streb (71) and Scott Stallings (70), Defending champion Zach Johnson managed an even-par 73 on the Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort. Johnson stands alone in 10th place at 11-under 208. Walker, who shared the second-round lead with Henley, Johnson and Bae, opened with three straight pars. Walker rolled in a 20-footer for birdie at the fourth and he followed with a 2-putt birdie on the par-5 fifth. That gave him a share of the lead at minus-13. Walker stuck his approach at the seventh within three feet. He kicked that in for birdie and that moved him atop the leaderboard. At the par-5 ninth, Walker drained a 4-foot birdie effort to move two clear of the field at minus-15. He came right back with a 12-foot birdie putt at the 10th. Walker reeled off seeven straight pars from the 11th.dddddddddddd After Matsuyama birdied the last to take the lead, Walker 2-putted from the fringe for a closing birdie, which moved him alongside Matsuyama at minus-17. Anytime you can play a round of golf without making a bogey, its big. It was kind of benign in the middle of the back nine and nothing was happening, but I kept hitting good shots, Walker said. I didnt hit too many good putts, but the par-save on 16 was big. That little putt there on 18 was kind of tricky. Matsuyama faltered to a bogey at the first to dip to minus-9. He atoned for that mistake with a short birdie putt at the fifth. He dropped in back-to-back 5-foot birdie efforts at seven and eight. The 22-year-old made it three in a row with a kick-in birdie at the ninth. Around the turn, Matsuyama parred three straight from the 10th. Matsuyama birdied the 13th and 14th to climb within one of Walkers lead. At the par-5 15th, Matsuyama chipped to six feet and he rolled that putt in for birdie and a share of the lead. After a pair of pars, Matsuyama nearly holed his eagle chip at the last, but he settled for a tap-in birdie. The fairways are wide and the greens are big, so I can be aggressive and not worry about it too much, said Matsuyama through a translator. I want to be relaxed (in the final round) and try to not let too many guys by me. NOTES: Matsuyama is one of 12 first-time participants competing this week ... Streb, who was the only player without a bogey through 36 holes, bogeyed the first hole in round three ... Kevin Stadler withdrew before the third round. ' ' ' |
