Mariners set for September callups

The Mariners, who have been getting plenty of support from Triple-A Tacoma this season, will add some extra callups when rosters expand on Sept. 1.

Mariners' sweep effort falls short

A three-run eighth inning for the Twins spoiled a solid performance by Ryan Feierabend and a go-ahead homer from Raul Ibanez as the Mariners lost, 6-5 in the series finale at Safeco Field in front of 23,581 on Wednesday afternoon.

Morrow fine after rough Minors start

Brandon Morrow, continuing his conversion from a reliever to a starter in the Minors, was roughed up Tuesday, but feels healthy and is still slated to make his first start with Seattle during its Sept. 5-7 series vs. the Yankees at Safeco Field.

LaHair, Cairo in first-base mix

Though Bryan LaHair has played well for the Mariners since being called up in July, flexible veteran Miguel Cairo has kept himself in Seattle's lineup.

R.A. Dickey: Changing my approach

Lopez avoids second-half slump

After going into a bit of a funk on a recent road trip, Jose Lopez bounced back with a six-game hitting streak the moment Seattle got back home.

Rowland-Smith gets first win as starter

The Mariners used a string of hits in the sixth inning to break a tie and rode a strong performance from Ryan Rowland-Smith on the mound to take a second straight game from the playoff-contending Twins -- this time by a score of 3-2 -- in front of 26,292 at Safeco Field on Tuesday night.

Ex-Mariner Guardado keeps grinding

Eddie Guardado was right in his comfort zone before Tuesday's game as he stood near the visiting dugout.

Batista odd man out in rotation

Lost amid the excitement of Adrian Beltre's two-run, walk-off homer on Monday night was a fine pitching performance from veteran right-hander Miguel Batista.

Pulaski returns to Appy League, playoffs

After a one-year absence from the Appalachian League, Pulaski returned as a Mariners affiliate and, for the first time since 1999, has reached the playoffs, where they'll face perennial powerhouse Elizabethton.

Rowland-Smith rounding into form

Ryan Rowland-Smith certainly hasn't had it easy after re-emerging from Triple-A Tacoma on Aug. 9 to become a full-time starter.

Beltre blasts walk-off homer in 11th

Adrian Beltre helped the Mariners tie it in the ninth inning, and he ended it in the 11th with a two-run, walk-off homer to beat the Twins, 4-2, in front of 23,277 at Safeco Field on Monday night.

Clement may return to catch on Tuesday

The Mariners have been suffering through some injury woes lately, but a couple of those absences are about to come to an end.

Mariners option Lowe to Triple-A

The Mariners made yet another move, optioning reliever Mark Lowe down to Tacoma and bringing up right-handed pitcher Randy Messenger to take his place.

Mariners to face another left-hander

The Mariners open a three-game series against the Twins at Safeco Field on Monday, and when they do they will face a left-hander for the fifth straight game in Minnesota's Scott Baker. The Mariners are 14-28 against left-handers this season.

Mariners earn split vs. A's with hot bats

Righty Felix Hernandez allowed three runs on four hits in six innings, as the Mariners topped the A's, 8-4, on Sunday to earn a split of their four-game series. Miguel Cairo hit a two-run triple, and Jose Lopez added a three-run homer.

Lowe out a few days after getting hit

Mariners reliever Mark Lowe will miss at least a couple of games after taking a line drive off his left foot in Saturday night's game against the Athletics.

Morrow not likely back until September

Right-hander Brandon Morrow will make at least one more start in the Minors, and possibly two as he gets stretched out to convert from a reliever to a starter. The Mariners would have to make a roster move if Morrow would come up before Sept. 1.

Ichiro has hit parade going again

Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki has been on a hot streak of late, moving into the lead in the American League in hits with 170. He's trying to reach 200 hits for the eighth straight season and lead the AL for the third straight year.

Mariners struggle to get offense going

Jarrod Washburn allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings, as the Mariners dropped a 5-1 decision to the visiting A's on Saturday night. The Mariners didn't get on the board until the seventh inning on Wladimir Balentien's RBI double.

Bloomquist unlikely to play again in '08

Mariners utilityman Willie Bloomquist is still limping around with a sore hamstring, and though he would like to return this season, he says it's unlikely he will get the chance. Bloomquist wants to return to the Mariners next season, and hopes the team wants him back.

Savvy Girls to host reception Tuesday

Seattle-based authors Jackie Koney and Deidre Silva will host a pregame reception at 5:10 p.m. PT on Tuesday, prior to the Mariners' game against the Twins, for female fans and children 14 and younger at the Ellis Pavilion.
