| Oakland, CA (MySportsbook) - The last-place Seattle Mariners cut ties with disappointing first baseman Richie Sexson on Thursday, and placed injured left-hander Erik Bedard on the 15-day disabled list. Sexson, who inked to a four-year, $50 million contract in December 2004, has been a bust in three-plus seasons in Seattle. The 33-year-old is hitting .218 with 11 home runs and 30 runs batted in for the Mariners this season, and has hit .244 with 105 home runs and 321 RBI in 509 games for Seattle. A career .26 |

| (MySportsbook) - Down an ace, Oakland hopes Joe Blanton can put forth the same kind of effort that Justin Duchscherer gave the Athletics on Tuesday when they play the third of four games tonight against the Seattle Mariners at McAfee Coliseum. Just hours after trading staff ace Rich Harden to the Chicago Cubs, Duchscherer put on a dazzling display of pitching on Tuesday, throwing his first career shutout to lead the Athletics to a 2-0 win. Duchscherer (10-5) allowed only two hits the entire game and did not |

| Seattle, WA (MySportsbook) - Marcus Thames' sacrifice fly off catcher- turned-pitcher Jamie Burke provided the winning margin as the Detroit Tigers won a 15-inning pitcher's duel over the Seattle Mariners, 2-1, to salvage a split in a four-game series at Safeco Field. Five Seattle relievers combined on nine scoreless innings and kept the game tied into the 15th, but the M's relief corps was exhausted and Burke -- who entered the game as a catcher in the ninth inning -- was forced to come on in relief.
