It was a positive week for the AL West third-place Seattle Mariners, who began the week with stellar All-Star game performances and finished out leading the Cleveland series 2-1.
All-Star Game
“King” Felix Hernandez sure was a pleasant sight in the All-Star game as he hurled a perfect inning of baseball after Ichiro led off the mid-summer classic with a base hit. The game eventually ended with a 4-3 American League victory.

Cleveland Indians series
The Mariners have taken two-of-three games against the Indians thus far in the four-game series. Southpaw Garrett Olson lost the first game while Hernandez and then Jarrod Washburn ended as victors.
Throughout this series, Franklin Gutierrez has knocked the ball across the park a bit as he has made the difference in runs during both Friday and Saturday’s games.
