    One of their hottest hitters got hurt without even swinging the bat. Their most consistent pitcher had the shortest outing of his career, and the last-place Seattle Mariners spent four days taking batting practice against the Cleveland Indians' worn-out staff.

    Frayed all season, the Indians are falling apart.

    Felix Hernandez shook off a hard fall on a fielding play to strike out 10, Wily Mo Pena drove in four runs and the Mariners chased Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin before the sixth inning for the first time Wednesday in a 9-2 rout that left the Indians' playoff hopes flickering.
