Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) – Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer and Jesus Montero went deep too – hitting his first big league homer in more than a year to help the Seattle Mariners sweep a two-game set over the San Diego Padres with a 6-1 win yesterday. Roenis Elias pitched seven strong innings and Jesus Montero also homered for Seattle. Elias (6-5) allowed three hits and struck out six without a walk while facing the minimum in five innings.
SEATTLE (AP) – Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson has won the Good Guy Award from the Professional Football Writers of America for his professional approach to helping the journalists do their job. Wilson is the sixth quarterback to win the award in the last seven years, and the first Seahawk.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) – So much for concern that running back Marshawn Lynch would be absent from the Seattle Seahawks minicamp. Lynch was in attendance when the Super Bowl champions opened their mandatory three-day minicamp yesterday. Lynch did not take part in yesterday’s practice but was on the field watching. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Lynch has a sore ankle and likely will not participate during the three-day camp.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with their second-round draft pick, running back Bishop Sankey. Sankey started his last two seasons at Washington where he rushed for 3,496 yards in his career with 37 touchdowns. He set a school record running for 1,870 yards last year as a junior, which ranked fourth nationally.
