PHILADELPHIA — Just like the old days, Carlos Ruiz soaked in the adoring cheers after another clutch hit. It didn’t matter he was a visit- ing player. Ruiz hit a three-run double against his old team, Robinson Cano and Danny Valencia hom- ered and the Seattle Mariners beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-6 Wednesday. Ruiz earned another standing ovation a day after he returned and was honored with a video tribute that highlighted his career with the Phillies. The former All- Star catcher was 3 for 30 this sea- son before clearing the bases with a liner off the left-fi eld wall in the seventh inning. “I kind of feel like my legs were not on the ground, it was real special,” Ruiz said. “That was huge for my team and also to see the ovation from the fans, their support, and I said thank you to them, because they were real good to me when I was here, and I’m so happy that they do that.” Seattle swept the two-game interleague series after rallying from a pair of four-run defi cits in a 10-9 win Tuesday.

Seattle announced the signing of Bass on Tuesday, along with the release of eight players, ahead of this weekend’s rookie minicamp. Bass spent the past two seasons with Tennessee. He started seven games during the 2015 seasons with the Titans and had a career- high 36 tackles, but had more of a reserve role last season. Bass spent his fi rst two seasons in the league with Chicago. Among those released by Seat- tle was cornerback Perrish Cox, running back George Famer and kicker John Lunsford, leaving the Seahawks with Blair Walsh as the only kicker on the roster.
