Russell Branyan does on the disabled list with a herniated disk. Not that the Mariners are really still in the race, but with both Ichiro and Branyan hurt, they’re left without much offense.

Don Wakamatsu felt this game started getting away from the Mariners when they failed to score after loading the bases in the first inning against Joe Saunders.

They introduced members of the old Seattle Pilots pre-game, with former pitcher, author and politician Jim Bouton throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. I know,...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Gil Meche is earning $11 million this season. The entire starting nine hitters for the Mariners plus pitcher Ian Snell are costing Seattle just over $5 million -- combined.
