Apologies for not being able to get to a more in-depth postgame piece -- my other beat is calling ahead of an early game Saturday -- but here is some reaction from the Mariners following a 6-3 win Friday to open a three-game series again...

*     *     * Pregame: Good evening. I'll be updating this post throughout tonight's Mariners-Athletics game. I have added pregame quotes from manager Eric Wedge in the previous post, with ...

Good afternoon everyone. I'm pinch-hitting on the Mariners beat today as the team returns home and kicks off a three-game series with the Oakland A's. Hisashi Iwakuma, who has been sensational with a 3-1 record and 1.61 ERA, will...

Much of Eric Wedge's pre-game session today was devoted to talking about the progress of Jesus Montero (and he said that Montero is definitely making some). Then Montero went out and won the Mariners a big ballgame with a huge h...
