SEATTLE -- Without wavering, Chris Young will say it each time he is asked: Individual wins are not important to him.
http://www.hockeyleafsnhl.com/authentic-travis-dermott-maple-leafs-jersey/ . Its about the teams success, the veteran right-hander says, going to
painstaking lengths to get his point across. Young reached his first
double-digit win total in a season since 2006 on Wednesday, but it truly was a
team effort this time around as the Seattle Mariners sent the Atlanta Braves to
a season-high eighth straight loss with a 7-3 victory. It is the first time
since May 2012 that the Braves, who were swept at Dodger Stadium and San Diego
before losing two straight at Safeco Field, have lost eight in a row. "You cant
get caught up in wins and losses as a starting pitcher. One day the media will
stop evaluating us on that," Young said with a laugh. Young (10-6), who allowed
all three runs in the third, was immediately picked up by his teammates, as the
Mariners responded with a four-run third. Dustin Ackley led off with a home run
and Logan Morrison added a three-run shot off Julio Teheran (10-8) for a 5-3
lead. Teheran was wildly inconsistent in six innings, yielding six runs in three
frames, while allowing just one baserunner in the other three innings. Even
after allowing Ackleys homer, Teheran appeared to have settled down with two
quick outs and a 3-2 advantage. Kyle Seager and Chris Taylor hit back-to-back
singles, though, and Morrison deposited a fastball into the right-field seats.
After Young protected the 5-3 lead through the fifth, the bullpen took over.
After a quick hit, four Seattle relievers combined to throw four innings of
scoreless relief, allowing three hits. "Its nice to have an eight-man bullpen
with so many quality arms down there, so many choices," Seattle manager Lloyd
McClendon said. Seager drove in Seattles first run with a single in the first,
and Taylor and Kendrys Morales later added RBI singles. The Braves scored all
three runs in the third, with Freddie Freeman driving in two with a bases-loaded
double, but Tommy La Stella was thrown out trying to score from first on the
play. "Its just not matching up right now," Braves outfielder Jason Heyward
said. "Its not clicking on all cylinders at the same time for us." TRAINERS ROOM
Braves: SS Andrelton Simmons, who sprained his left ankle during Tuesdays game,
was wearing an air cast and using crutches on Wednesday morning. He still hopes
to avoid time on the disabled list. Mariners: OF Michael Saunders, on the 15-day
disabled list with a strained left oblique, will join Triple-A Tacomaon Thursday
to begin a rehab assignment. McClendon said Saunders will DH before moving to
the outfield. ... INF Willie Bloomquist did not get a positive report after
being checked out by a doctor on Wednesday and will get a second opinion on his
bruised right knee. UP NEXT Braves: Atlanta returns home to start a 10-game
homestand against the Nationals on Friday. Ervin Santana (10-6) lost his only
career start against Washington. Mariners: Rookie Roenis Elias (8-9) will make
his second career start against the White Sox on Thursday. Elias allowed five
runs in five innings in Chicago on July 4. ACK-ATTACK Ackley continues his
torrid pace at the plate and is hitting .346 (37-107) since July 1 after
collecting two hits, including the home run. HOME VS. AWAY Teheran did nothing
to help boost his road stats. The right-hander entered the game 6-6 with a 3.91
ERA away from Turner Field. At home, Teheran is 4-1 with a 1.48 ERA, which is
tied for the major league lead in that category.

when the Lions lost to San Francisco. After starting 5-0, Detroit has lost four
of six, beginning with that game against the 49ers.

place of Romeros. After both men had disastrous outings in Tuesdays 18-4 mauling
at the hands of the Tigers, its clear that neither is the best option to begin
the season in Toronto.

transfer window may have backfired after Valencia took advantage of a lethargic,
uninspired effort by its hosts at the Camp Nou, where former Spain coach Luis
Aragones -- who previously coached the Catalan side -- was honoured after his
death on Saturday.SAN FRANCISCO - Barry Zito has known for months he would be
leaving the Giants after seven up-and-down years in San Francisco. The sides
formally parted ways Saturday, when the Giants declined to exercise Zitos $18
million contract option for next season and instead owe the left-hander a $7
million buyout. Also Saturday, San Francisco declined its $3 million mutual
option for outfielder Andres Torres and must pay him a $500,000 buyout. The
biggest decision still facing general manager Brian Sabean and assistant GM
Bobby Evans is due by Monday: Whether to exercise right-hander Ryan Vogelsongs
$6.5 million club option that includes a $300,000 buyout. Because the
35-year-old Zito realized this moment was coming, he recently took out a
full-page newspaper ad to thank the fans for standing by him through a tough
tenure on this side of San Francisco Bay. The 2002 AL Cy Young Award winner
across the water for the Oakland Athletics, Zito just completed a $126 million,
seven-year contract with the Giants. Zito pitched Game 5 of the NL championship
series at St. Louis last year with his team facing elimination as the Giants
rallied to win the series in seven games, then won Game 1 in a surprising World
Series sweep of the Tigers — after he was left off the post-season roster for
all three rounds in 2010. Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy each has credited Zito
for his work to find his rhythm again despite the struggles, not to mention his
class during difficult situations on and off the field. Both of his parents died
in recent years, including his father, Joe, this past season. "On the field and
off the field, a lot of things happened in these years," Zito said. "I got
married and became a Christian, lost both my parents. Just sso much.

And on the field, obviously had some lows there for a while and also this year,
and then the World Series in 2012 for me was such an incredible experience. Im
so grateful I got to experience that and be a part of it and help bring it home
for San Francisco. The way it worked, Zito was replaced in his final start and
didnt get a curtain call or chance to tip his cap to the crowd at AT&T Park
on Sept. 25. "Theres not a lot of chance for closure, I think, in sports," he
said. "Guys sign contracts, they come to cities, theyre kind of like the citys
own. And theres never really goodbyes. But thats National League baseball. Youve
got to pinch hit." Zito had a 63-80 record with a 4.62 ERA in 197 starts and 208
appearances for the Giants. His buyout is payable in installments with 1 per
cent interest each Jan. 15 from 2014 through 2020. "Theres lots of stuff that he
could complain about. Ive never heard him say a negative word about anything,"
fellow lefty starter Madison Bumgarner said. "Hes a lot tougher than people
realize. Hes a gentleman in the game and hes a competitor. Hes truly a good
teammate, one of the best teammates Ive had in my short career so far. It would
definitely be hard to top him." Zito and Torres, another member of the 2010
World Series team, now become free agents. Torres, 35, batted .250 with two
homers and 21 RBIs in 103 games this past season. Zito has said he still wants
to pitch next season somewhere. "Just going to go home this off-season, take a
few weeks off and see what my heart tells me," he said. "My bodys still healthy
and my minds fairly healthy. Its been injured here and there along the way, but
I think I can manage."
