Mariners Option Noesi to Tacoma
|
CLEVELAND (AP) - The Seattle Mariners have optioned pitcher Hector Noesi to Triple-A Tacoma after he made an emergency start Thursday.
Noesi replaced scheduled starter Aaron Harang, who came down with a stiff back prior to the game against the Yankees. The right-hander allowed one unearned run in 4 1-3 innings in the Mariners' 3-2 win. Noesi has no record and a 2.63 ERA in five appearances.
The Mariners selected the contract of right-hander Danny Farquhar from Tacoma, where he was 0-1 with six saves and a 2.25 ERA in 15 appearances. To make room on the 40-man roster for Farquhar, right-hander Stephen Pryor was transferred to the 60-day disabled list. Pryor has been on the 15-day DL since April 15 with a torn muscle in his back.

Reynolds' RBI Grounder in 9th Lifts Indians
|
CLEVELAND (AP) - Mark Reynolds' fielder's choice with the bases loaded in the ninth inning lifting the Cleveland Indians to a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
The Indians, who began the day tied with Detroit atop the AL Central, have won 16 of their last 20.
Seattle tied the score at 4-all with two-out, solo homers by Raul Ibanez and Justin Smoak off Indians closer Chris Perez in the top of the ninth.
Jason Kipnis, who won Friday's game with a three-run homer in the 10th, led off the bottom of the ninth with a single off Oliver Perez (1-1) and took third on Asdrubal Cabrera's double. Nick Swisher was intentionally walked to load the bases..
Reynolds, who drove in three runs, hit a sharp ground ball off reliever Yoervis Medina that was gloved by shortstop Brendan Ryan, but his throw home pulled catcher Jesus Montero off the plate.

Seahawks Sign 6th-Round Pick Spencer Ware
|
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - The Seattle Seahawks have signed fullback Spencer Ware to a multi-year contract, leaving the team with just three unsigned draft picks.
Seattle announced the signing of its sixth-round pick on Thursday. Terms of Ware's deal were not announced.
Ware is being moved from running back, his position at LSU, to fullback. He received praise from coach Pete Carroll during last weekend's rookie minicamp for his versatility as a runner.
Ware's signing leaves just running back Christine Michael (second round), cornerback Tharold Simon (fifth round) and offensive tackle Michael Bowie (seventh round) as Seattle's unsigned draft picks.
