Seattle's Felix Hernandez was relieved to reach his 100th career win Monday night against Houston after failing to reach the milestone in three previous attempts. "Finally," he said with a huge grin. "It took too long." Hernandez pitched six scoreless innings and Seattle homered three times to back him up in a 7-1 victory over the Astros.
I'm trying to find something in concrete, but one of the beat reporters said he came out after 93 pitches for "back tightness", since the game was well in hand. Hoping he doesn't miss a start--the M's don't have any offdays for another 2 weeks or so.
