Niklas Svedberg to a one-year contract.MINNEAPOLIS -- Felix Hernandez stopped
another slide for Seattle on Sunday. Hernandez pitched eight strong innings and
Robinson Cano had four hits and the Mariners defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-2.
The Mariners were winless since King Felixs previous start, but Hernandez (5-1)
helped snap their four-game skid by giving up two runs and seven hits while
striking out five and walking one. "Its always a confidence builder coming to
the park when we know hes pitching. Typically we know that we dont have to put
up too many runs to come out with a W," Mariners right fielder Michael Saunders
said. Hernandez has been especially tough on the Twins in recent years. In his
past four starts against Minnesota, he has pitched 34 innings and allowed three
earned runs with 30 strikeouts. "Its the same old story -- really good stuff,"
Twins left fielder Jason Kubel said of facing Hernandez. "Hes just tough, one of
the toughest guys to hit." The Twins, who have won three straight series and six
of nine overall, jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a rally keyed
by a successful replay challenge. With a man on first and nobody out, shortstop
Danny Santana hit a dribbler to first baseman Justin Smoak, who flipped the ball
to Hernandez covering at first. Santana was ruled out on the play, but replays
showed that his foot hit the bag just before the pitcher arrived. Hernandez
almost got out of the jam, striking out Brian Dozier and Joe Mauer on two-strike
sliders, but Trevor Plouffe scored both runners with a two-out single to
right-centre to put Minnesota on top 2-0. "I made one mistake," Hernandez said
of his performance on Sunday. "I left that slider a little bit up against
Plouffe and he got that hit. It was off the plate, but he put a good swing on
it. "I was a little (angry). I did not put a zero on the scoreboard. After that
I made better pitches." Meanwhile, after Twins starter Ricky Nolasco (2-4)
breezed through the first three innings, the Mariners rallied by going deep in
the count aand making Nolasco work the second time through the order.
Lamar Miller Dolphins Jersey. They got one run back on Kyle Seagers RBI single in the fourth, but they also drove up
Nolascos pitch count by making him throw 33 pitches that inning. Nolascos
ability to avoid trouble ran out in the fifth. James Jones led off with an
infield single, then scored on Michael Saunders triple to right field. Cano
followed with a shot off the centre field wall for an RBI double that gave
Seattle a 3-2 lead. By the end of the inning, Nolasco had thrown 100 pitches and
was done for the day. And Hernandez had all the runs he needed to snap that
losing streak. "With that guy over there, you have to play perfect baseball,"
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We didnt do that. We gave them a few too
many chances, and when you give them chances like that, thats what happens."
Saunders added a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, Justin Smoak had an RBI
double in the seventh and Cano scored on a wild pitch in the ninth as the
Mariners pulled away. Mariners closer Fernando Rodney worked a scoreless ninth
in a non-save situation to cap what Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon called an
"ideal" day. "Our starter went eight and we got our closer some much-needed
work," McClendon said. "It was perfect." Notes: McClendon said that the team
will decide later this week whether 1B/OF Logan Morrison is ready to begin a
minor-league rehab assignment. Morrison has missed five weeks with a strained
right hamstring. ... Seattle DH Corey Hart left the game in the fourth inning
after straining his left hamstring while stealing second base. ... Canos single
in the fourth extended his on-base streak to 26 games, the longest in the major
leagues this year. ... The Twins will send RHP Kevin Correia (1-5, 6.80) to the
mound when they open a two-game series at San Diego on Tuesday. ... The Mariners
also have a day off Monday. They will travel to Texas for a two-game set against
the Rangers, with RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (2-0, 1.59) starting on Tuesday.
