Another road game, another wretched start — and another loss for the Seattle Storm. After scoring eight points in the first quarter against Minnesota, the Storm (1-6) scored 10 in the opening period Saturday night in San Antonio, and again never recovered, losing 80-67 to the Silver Stars (3-4).

After stuffing the National League’s best with a no-hitter, the Mariners face Clayton Kershaw, the NL’s best pitcher in 2011. Retribution time?

Seattle added 15 pitchers, six of which were left-handed, three outfielders, one of whom is Carl Yastrzemski’s grandson and six infielders. A junior right fielder at Vanderbilt, Michael Yastrzemski batted .286 with six home runs and 41 RBIs during
