SEATTLE (AP) - Felix Hernandez allowed six hits in eight innings in his best start since he returned from a forearm injury and the Seattle Mariners beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0 Thursday night, shutting them out for the second straight game.
Ichiro Suzuki had two more hits for the Mariners to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, the longest current one in the majors. He has at least one hit in 41 of his last 43 games.
Hernandez (4-4) struck out nine and walked one, returning to the form he showed before he went on the disabled list in April with a strained forearm. He came off the DL on May 15 and had gone 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA in his previous six starts.
