OAKLAND, Calif. -- Felix Hernandez wasnt nearly as sharp as he has been recently and got off to a sluggish start in the first two innings against the Athletics.It hardly mattered on a day when the Mariners backed their ace with another 14 runs of support, something they did in Hernandezs previous outing.Hernandez overcame his slow start and pitched six scoreless innings to continue his dominance at the Oakland Coliseum and Seattle Mariners beat the As 14-3 on Saturday.The first three innings I was a little wild and the ball was moving all over the place, sinking and cutting, Hernandez said. After that I just started to pound the strike zone. The offense picked me up. Its good for us.Seattle remained 3 1/2 games behind the second wild card spot.Hernandez (11-5) gave up four hits and a walk in the first two innings then settled in for his second consecutive win. Seattles six-time All-Star walked one and struck out two for his seventh win since coming off the disabled list.King Felix also showed hes king of the Coliseum.Hernandez improved to 12-3 there, tying Tommy John for the most wins by an opposing pitcher at the 50-year-old stadium.Just trying to calm down, not be too quick to the plate and I made good pitches, Hernandez said.Nelson Cruz had three hits and three RBI, Nori Aoki also had three hits and drove in two runs, and Kyle Seager hit his 28th home run to help the Mariners to their seventh win in eight games against the As this season.Seattle batted around twice and had seven players with two hits or more.The offense really carried us today but it does take pitching to shut them down, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Felix gave us a chance to put the runs up there.The As, conversely, continued to struggle at their ballpark. With 41 losses at the Coliseum, Oakland is guaranteed of consecutive losing seasons at home for the first time since 1997-98.Ryon Healy had three hits including a two-run home run for the As.Cruz doubled and scored on Kyle Seagers single in the first. Cruz doubled again in the third and drove in two runs when the Mariners batted around to go up 6-0.Aoki, who went into the day batting .337 in 22 career games against the As, made it 8-0 with a two-run double in the sixth to chase Kendall Graveman (10-10).Seager hit his second home run in three days off reliever J.B. Wendelken leading off the seventh.Graveman allowed eight runs and a career-high 12 hits over five-plus innings with three walks and one strikeout.It was just one of those games where he was a little bit off and didnt have command of his fastball like he normally does, As manager Bob Melvin said.AOKI WARMING UPAoki had his best game since coming off the disabled list, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, three runs scored and a walk. Getting their leadoff hitter comfortable will be key for the Mariners as they head down the stretch. He comes back with a vengeance, Servais said. Really good at-bats, hes driving the ball.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: Right-hander Tom Wilhelmsen pitched one inning and allowed Healys home run after being activated from the disabled list before the game.

Zack Britton Yankees Jersey . Jordan Lynch, the all-purpose Heisman Trophy finalist from Northern Illinois, failed to make it into that exclusive club.GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jordy Nelsons knees arent going to keep him from playing football on Sunday.How much the receiver is on the field in the Green Bay Packers season opener at Jacksonville may simply come down to how much he can stand the heat.Otherwise, Nelson is ready and eager to play for first time in more than a year.Im playing football, Nelson said Tuesday in a brief response when asked if his knees were an issue.Nelson tore the ACL in his right knee in a preseason game last summer at Pittsburgh, an injury that knocked him out for the 2015 season.He arrived this preseason with what he described as a minor issue in his left knee. It was concerning enough to the coaching staff that Nelson only started practicing again a few weeks ago. He didnt play in any preseason games.Would it have been better going through camp? Yeah, probably. It wouldnt have hurt, Nelson said. But Im not worried about it, I dont think anyone in this locker room is worried about it.He sat in on meetings. On the field, when he wasnt practicing, Nelson looked like a coach, as he watched plays and interacted with other receivers.Nelson is one of the best in the business when healthy. In his last full season in 2014, Nelson had 80 catches for 1,519 yards and 13 touchdowns. He has accumulated a highlight reel full of deep balls and back-shoulder receptions, and high wire-like sideline catches from quarterback Aaron Rodgers.The mystery for now is just how effective Nelson will be on Sunday, and how that affects how he is covered by the Jaguars.I mean, it depends on how healthy they think he is, Rodgers said. But I think were all looking forward to the sight of No. 87 back on the field and healthy.Nelsons return means the Rodgers has his full supporting cast back in Green Bay. A slimmed-down Eddie Lacy has shown the hard-charging running in camp that made him a star in his first couple years in the leaague.ddddddddddddRandall Cobb, who is known for making tough catches in traffic, added some upper-body bulk to put up with more pounding.Jordy taking the top off things and me working underneath -- I think we really do complement each other well, Cobb said.Coach Mike McCarthy said Nelson and Cobb are wired very similar in that each can play multiple receiving positions, and have a complete understanding of the entire offense.How youre attacking the opponent, why youre attacking the opponent that way and the adjustments off of that, McCarthy said. So Jordy and Randall both have obviously an excellent understanding of our offense, and theyre great role models for our younger players .McCarthy has said Nelson is a full go this week. Nelson said hes ready for any workload, but there is no estimate on the number of plays hell take.Well play it by snap-by-snap to be honest with you. There (are) a lot of things that could happen differently, Nelson said.For instance, if the game plan calls for Nelson to run deep routes on three straight plays, more likely than not, hell come out for the next play or two. That would have been the case even when he was healthy.Weather in Jacksonville is another variable, with the forecast calling for mostly sunny skies and highs in the low-90s on Sunday. The hot, sticky weather in Green Bay on Tuesday forced the Packers indoors for practice because of morning rain.I wouldnt be surprised if a lot of guys are rotating to stay fresh, Nelson said. But no, I feel great. Practice today felt great. Ive done a lot on my own to get ready. So I dont think it will honestly be an issue.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
