OAKLAND, Calif. -- Felix Hernandez wasnt nearly as sharp as he has been recently and got off to a sluggish start in the first two innings against the Athletics.It hardly mattered on a day when the Mariners backed their ace with another 14 runs of support, something they did in Hernandezs previous outing.Hernandez overcame his slow start and pitched six scoreless innings to continue his dominance at the Oakland Coliseum and Seattle Mariners beat the As 14-3 on Saturday.The first three innings I was a little wild and the ball was moving all over the place, sinking and cutting, Hernandez said. After that I just started to pound the strike zone. The offense picked me up. Its good for us.Seattle remained 3 1/2 games behind the second wild card spot.Hernandez (11-5) gave up four hits and a walk in the first two innings then settled in for his second consecutive win. Seattles six-time All-Star walked one and struck out two for his seventh win since coming off the disabled list.King Felix also showed hes king of the Coliseum.Hernandez improved to 12-3 there, tying Tommy John for the most wins by an opposing pitcher at the 50-year-old stadium.Just trying to calm down, not be too quick to the plate and I made good pitches, Hernandez said.Nelson Cruz had three hits and three RBI, Nori Aoki also had three hits and drove in two runs, and Kyle Seager hit his 28th home run to help the Mariners to their seventh win in eight games against the As this season.Seattle batted around twice and had seven players with two hits or more.The offense really carried us today but it does take pitching to shut them down, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Felix gave us a chance to put the runs up there.The As, conversely, continued to struggle at their ballpark. With 41 losses at the Coliseum, Oakland is guaranteed of consecutive losing seasons at home for the first time since 1997-98.Ryon Healy had three hits including a two-run home run for the As.Cruz doubled and scored on Kyle Seagers single in the first. Cruz doubled again in the third and drove in two runs when the Mariners batted around to go up 6-0.Aoki, who went into the day batting .337 in 22 career games against the As, made it 8-0 with a two-run double in the sixth to chase Kendall Graveman (10-10).Seager hit his second home run in three days off reliever J.B. Wendelken leading off the seventh.Graveman allowed eight runs and a career-high 12 hits over five-plus innings with three walks and one strikeout.It was just one of those games where he was a little bit off and didnt have command of his fastball like he normally does, As manager Bob Melvin said.AOKI WARMING UPAoki had his best game since coming off the disabled list, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, three runs scored and a walk. Getting their leadoff hitter comfortable will be key for the Mariners as they head down the stretch. He comes back with a vengeance, Servais said. Really good at-bats, hes driving the ball.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: Right-hander Tom Wilhelmsen pitched one inning and allowed Healys home run after being activated from the disabled list before the game.

DENVER -- In the end,?Trevor Siemian didnt throw for 180 yards in his first NFL start, he did throw two interceptions, and it wasnt always a smooth ride on the learning curve.But the?24-year-old never lost his composure and showed why Broncos coach Gary Kubiak picked him as?Peyton Mannings replacement in a tense 21-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers?on Thursday night.Sure, theres butterflies every time you play, Siemian said. I think something is wrong with you if you dont. Im just super confident in the group of guys we have offensively. There are a lot of vets and a lot of great leadership in that group that I can lean on, and Im just really confident in those guys.Siemian, whose NFL résumé coming into the game had been just one regular-season play, a kneel-down against the Pittsburgh Steelers in December, finished 18-of-26 passing for 178 yards with a touchdown and the two interceptions.But Siemian was composed in big moments, putting together two touchdown drives in the second half as the Broncos became the first Super Bowl winner to trail by at least eight points in the next seasons opener before coming back for the win.The Broncos rushed for 148 yards in the game and had a close-to-even split in the play-calling with Siemians 26 pass attempts to go with their 29 rushing attempts.I thought Trevor handled his end of the bargain well, Kubiak said.The Broncos opened the game with an apparent case of nerves around their new quarterback. They had taken their opening drive to the Panthers 29-yard line when rookie Devontae Booker fumbled. Siemians first interception ended the Broncos second drive at the Panthers 25-yard line.On that play, Siemians throw was swatted by Panthers defensive tackle Star Lotulelei before being intercepted by linebacker Thomas Davis.The Panthers had a 17-7 lead at halftime, andd Siemian was picked off again in the Broncos first possession in the third quarter when, in the face of a blitz, he couldnt step into the throw.ddddddddddddWide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was open inside the Panthers 10-yard line, but the pass was underthrown and intercepted by Panthers cornerback Bene Benwikere.Kubiak said Siemian was never rattled after all of that.Nah, he wasnt, Kubiak said. And actually the second interception, it really wasnt his fault ... and in fairness to the kid we should have picked [the blitz] up and he should have been able to step and throw. We didnt get that done.Siemian then showed what likely won him the job in the first place, at least in addition to a power arm. Its his composure and ability to rebound from trouble.After his second interception and a rather ugly three-and-out, Siemian led two touchdown drives. The first of those scores came when Siemian stared down the Panthers pressure and tossed a screen pass to running back C.J. Anderson, who?took it 25 yards for a score that made it 17-14.There was pressure, and I knew I had to get it to C.J., somehow, some way, and it would be a big play, Siemian said. He made a couple moves, had a heck of a run and got it in there. ... I knew it was a big play if I could get it to him. Somehow, some way, get it to C.J. and hell take care of it.Said Kubiak: That was a great job. ... But Trevor really did an amazing job of pulling the rush in and getting the ball off ... just really good by kind of handling the situation.Anderson scored on a 1-yard run to close out the Broncos next possession and put Denver in position for the comeback win.Weve got a resilient team, and you saw that tonight, Siemian said.
