The Mariners continued to pay the price for their misguided acquisition of Erik Bedard in 2008 when Chris Tillman, part of the package (with Adam Jones) that they sent to Baltimore in exchange for Bedard, tossed seven effective innings and blanked Seattle 1-0 at Camden Yards Sunday.

It’s one thing to lose to the Los Angeles Galaxy, which the Sounders did Monday at home. But the San Jose Earthquakes (6-8-5), basement dwellers in the Western Conference? The Sounders followed up the Galaxy debacle with another embarrassment, a 1-0 loss in the first event in the new, $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium in Santa
After OF Austin Jackson (from Detroit) and OF Chris Denofria (San Diego) joined the Mariners in Baltimore Friday, the club optioned outfielders James Jones and Stefen Romero to AAA Tacoma to make room for the newcomers on the 25-man roster. Jackson and Denofria will bat leadoff and sixth, respectively, in Friday night’s opener in a
Citing league sources, ESPN reported Thursday that running back Marshawn Lynch will end his eight-day holdout and report to the Seahawks within 24 hours. Also according to ESPN, Lynch will not receive the new contract he sought, but Seattle is expected to offer some financial concessions to his contract, perhaps by waiving the $30,000 per
The Mariners made their first trade deadline deal Thursday, but it was hardly the blockbuster fans sought. Seattle sent two minor leaguers — outfielder Abraham Almonte and RHP Stephen Kohlscheen — to San Diego for .242 hitter Chris Denorfia, who has played all three outfield positions for the Padres this season.
The Washington Huskies, who finished last season 9-4 after a 31-16 victory over Brigham Young University in the Fight Hunger Bowl, start the 2014 season ranked No. 25 in the USA Today/Coaches poll. The Huskies, playing their first campaign under new head coach Chris Petersen, are one of six Pac-12 schools ranked by the coaches.
The AL West-leading Oakland Athletics (66-41) made another huge move Thursday as the trade deadline neared, further separating them from the Mariners. The A’s acquired three-time All-Star LHP Jon Lester, OF Jonny Gomes and cash from the Boston Red for OF Yoenis Cespedes. Boston will also receive Oakland’s competitive balance pick in the 2015 draft.
Defensive tackle Jessie Williams, the fifth-round draftee who sat out his first Seahawks season to rehab an injured knee, suffered another knee injury at practice Wednesday and was carted off the VMAC practice field.
As someone who faced the Seahawks twice last season as well as earlier in coach Pete Carroll’s tenure, new right tackle Eric Winston has an an intimate take on his new team. “They’re as tough as it gets – multiple fronts, a lot of athletes and a lot of speed,” he said after his first
The Mariners’ chances of grabbing the American League’s second wild card spot took another hit Sunday when Manny Machado’s 10th-inning, bases-loaded sacrifice fly, coupled with another lame late-innings batting effort by Seattle, provided the Baltimore Orioles with a 3-2 victory at Safeco Field. The Orioles took three of four in the series and the Mariners
