The whirlwind of playing games on two continents and three states to begin the 2012 season had Brendan Ryan so confused he legitimately didn't know the Seattle Mariners had an off-day at home coming on Monday. Ryan will get the needed break after accomplishing a first in his time with Seattle: actually hitting a home run at home. "I didn't know that. Are you serious?" Ryan asked. "I don't have to show up tomorrow? That's a really happy off-day then." Ryan hit a two-run homer in the second inning, Justin Smoak added a solo shot in the third and the Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 5-3 on Sunday.
