    John Jaso began thinking about it after the fourth inning.

    Felix Hernandez threw the first perfect game in Mariners history Wednesday, and Hisashi Iwakuma started Friday night by retiring 12 consecutive batters -- enough to make Seattle's designated hitter wonder if something special was happening again.

    "I did think about it, I can't lie," Jaso said.

    Iwakuma didn't end up perfect, but he did plenty by throwing seven impressive innings and allowing no earned runs in Seattle's 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
