No official announcement yet that Kenji Johjima has been activated, but I'll take the starting lineup posted in the Mariners' clubhouse at Dodger Stadium as official announcement: Johjima is catching and hitting sixth.

In praise of Felix, and other post-game tidbits

Most of the non-Beltre talk in the clubhouse was about Felix Hernandez's dominating performance. Here's what catcher Rob Johnson had to say: "His stuff was unbelievable,'' His four-seamer was cutting like crazy. It cut six inches. His sinker was sinking a foot. It was unbelievable.
