 SEATTLE (AP) - Felix Hernandez pitched a five-hitter for his first career shutout, leading Seattle over the Los Angeles Angels 2-0 Monday night and stopping the Mariners' 20-game losing streak against the AL West.
Hernandez (11-12) threw 95 pitches, struck out four and walked none in his second complete game in 38 major league starts. All the Angels' hits were singles, and Hernandez retired his last 10 batters. The game took just 1 hour, 51 minutes, the fastest in the history of Safeco Field, which opened in July 1999.
Last Wednesday against the New York Yankees, Hernandez gave up seven earned runs and nine hits in 3 2-3 innings, his worst major league start.
