Mariners sweep A's...to little to late??
Quote:
Yuniesky Betancourt had a huge day for the Mariners, gathering four hits to match his career high and driving in three runs as the Mariners clinched a non-losing season for the first time since 2003. Jamie Burke added two hits and drove in two runs. Jose Guillen also drove in a run.
Ichiro extended his hitting streak to 12 games and helped Hernandez (13-7) beat the A's for the fourth time this season, on a day that reminded players and coaches more of Candlestick Park in San Francisco than Oakland.
"Oh man, I don't like that wind," Hernandez said about the blustery day. "My breaking ball went flat. The wind took it away. They gave me a five-run lead and I just tried to hang in there. If I don't see that kind of wind again, it's good for me."
Hernandez was a little lax this time against the A's, a team he normally has fit into his back pocket. The right-hander gave up four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits in five innings. He also walked four, matching his season high, and struck out three.
