Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) – Felix Hernandez allowed one run in seven strong innings and Robinson Cano helped provide him with a jolt of run support as the Seattle Mariners romped to an 11-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays last night. Opening the most anticipated August series in Seattle since 2007, Hernandez (13-3) made his 16th straight start of at least seven innings while allowing two earned runs or less. Hernandez needed just 96 pitches to get through seven and his only mistake was Jose Bautista’s solo home run in the fourth.
SEATTLE (AP) – The Seattle Mariners opted to add a position player, calling up outfielder James Jones from Triple-A Tacoma. Seattle made the move yesterday before opening a three-game series against Toronto. Seattle had an open roster spot after pitcher Erasmo Ramirez was optioned following his start against Chicago on Sunday.
BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) – Police in Bellevue are investigating whether Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was involved in an assault and damage of personal property. The Bellevue Police Department says that the alleged incident took place Sunday and that Lynch is alleged to have been involved. Bellevue police stated that they have not been able to verify whether Lynch was involved, but are investigating.
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Oregon starting left tackle Tyler Johnstone has re-torn the ACL in his right knee and will be out for the upcoming season, according to a published report. Johnstone told Comcast SportsNet that he will have surgery on Friday. He will likely be replaced by junior Andre Yruretagoyena.
