Washington dropped nine consecutive games to Oregon by an average of 25.8 points. Ducks are favored by 14 points Saturday to make it a decade of dominance.
The Sounders come off a 5-1 drubbing at Colorado and won’t have Eddie Johnson and Brad Evans when they host the Vancouver Whitecaps Wednesday.
Kendrys Morales has declined the Mariners’ qualifying offer, according to cbsssports.com baseball reporter Jon Heyman Tuesday. That means that that the designated hitter/first baseman is likely headed to free agency, but does not preclude the Mariners and Morales from reaching a multi-year deal after he surveys the market.
The Mariners Tuesday claimed outfielder Travis Witherspoon off waivers from the Anaheim Angels and made room for him on the 40-man roster by designating catcher Henry Blanco for assignment. Witherspoon, 24, spent the 2013 season at AA Arkansas, where he hit .214 and stole 30 bases in 129 games.
By Zack Menchel, Murrow News Services With a convincing 44-22 road victory against Cal Saturday, the Cougars answered lingering questions regarding perseverance and resolve after a tough loss to Stanford. Aside from pushing WSU to 4-2, the win also put to rest an eight-game losing streak to the California Golden Bears.
At least Washington’s 31-28 loss at Stanford Saturday night didn’t put a serious dent in the Huskies’ poll standing. Ranked 15th a week ago, UW slipped only a notch to 16th in AP rankings released Sunday. In the USA Today/Coaches poll, Washington actually moved up one spot, from 20 to 19.
The Seahawks converted only two of 12 third-down attempts, leaving the game vulnerable to be taken by the Colts’ Andrew Luck, which he did, to hand Seattle its first loss.
Hours after suffering a 5-1 shellacking in Colorado, the Sounders learned that midfielder Brad Evans and forward Eddie Johnson were called into the U.S. Men’s National Team for FIFA World Cup qualifiers matches against Jamaica and Panama. However, the U.S. team captain, Clint Dempsey, nursing a hamstring injury, was not called.
UW quarterback Keith Price couldn’t lift the Huskies to a consecutive season-defining win against the Stanford Cardinal — not even with another solid game from Bishop Sankey.
