The Indians don’t have much that impresses in their lineup these days, but much of what they do have, they can thank the Mariners for.

Cleveland’s Nos. 2 and 3 hitters, Asdrubal Cabrera and Shin-Soo Choo, combined for five hits, five RBI and four runs Thursday as the Indians opened a four-game series in Seattle with a 6-3 win. Those two also had the two highest batting averages in the Cleveland lineup Thursday. Both came up through the Seattle farm system.

And that’s not what the Mariners need now, to see some of their own come back to beat them. Seattle would like to avoid finishing with the worst record in the American League, but they are a step closer to it with a 52-82 record, while the Indians are 54-80.

Lurking in the background are the resurgent Orioles, who…

The Seattle Mariners found out Shin-Soo Choo is one of those players who can do it all. Choo drove in five runs with a bases-loaded double and a two-run home run to give the Cleveland Indians a 6-3 victory over the Mariners. Choo, traded to the Indians by Seattle in 2006, hit a 3-1 fastball from Doug Fister (4-11) against the right-center-field wall in the Indians' four-run sixth to score all…

"It might have been front page," Matsui said about the possible reaction in Japan.

Seattle interim manager Daren Brown says Tuesday that Kelley's surgery showed the ligament in his right elbow that was previously repaired was fine, but there was some fraying and wearing at another spot.

Felix Hernandez's season can't be fully measured by his so-so won-loss record. It seems his value this year as the Seattle Mariners' ace is how well he 'holds' victories. Hernandez held the Los Angeles Angels to just three hits and no runs through seven innings, walking three and striking out eight.

It's a wonder what three home runs in one inning does to the mood of a ballclub. Bobby Abreu, Hideki Matsui, and Peter Bourjos each homered in the sixth inning and the Los Angeles Angels broke a nasty scoreless spell for a 5-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners Monday night. "I can tell there was a good feeling in the dugout.
