IN BRIEF
Cano back
from suspension
Robinson Cano is set to
return from his 80-game sus-
pension for violating baseball’s
drug agreement when Seattle
plays at Oakland.
The All-Star second base-
man has been out since May
15, though he’s been playing in
the minor leagues for the past
week. Cano is ineligible for
the postseason if Seattle makes
it, but manager Scott Servais
hopes the 35-year-old can help
the Mariners get there as a ver-
satile piece around the infield.
Servais said the team will
work Cano in slowly, getting
him reps at first, second and
third base.
“We need to be smart in
breaking him in,” Servais
said. “He wants to get going,
he wants to contribute right
away. He’s missed playing,
he’s missed his teammates and
being around this whole thing.
I know he wants to come in and
do a lot. But again small little
things.”
Lowrie drives in
4 to back Manaea
OAKLAND, Calif. — Bob
Melvin might have a little better
understanding of the anxiety other
teams feel when his Oakland Ath-
letics come roaring back in the
late innings.
Seattle nearly did it to the A’s.
These AL West rivals are among
the best at staying in games until
the very end despite a big deficit.
Jed Lowrie drove in four runs
to back Sean Manaea, and the
A’s held off a late Seattle rally to
beat the Mariners 7-6 on Mon-
day night in a matchup of playoff
contenders.
“We’ve done that a few times
before,” Melvin said of his club’s
comebacks. “The other end of it
doesn’t feel so great. ... They have
a deep lineup and obviously with
their record in close games there’s
no quit in them as well.”
Seahawks-Raiders
at Wembley
LONDON — NFL games
will be played at Wembley Sta-
dium on three consecutive week-
ends for the first time because the
new home being built for English
Premier League club Tottenham
won’t be ready.
Tottenham said Monday that it
would be unable to host the Seat-
tle Seahawks and the Oakland
Raiders on Oct. 14 due to “issues
with the critical safety systems”
at the 62,000-seat stadium in the
final stages of construction.
“We appreciate the support
our partner the NFL has shown
since the extent of this issue
became evident today,” Totten-
ham chairman Daniel Levy said
Monday.

Seahawks hope Mingo
can be dual threat
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Sea-
hawks would be thrilled if Barkevious Mingo
became the new version of what Bruce Irvin
was during their championship run — strong
on stopping the run in early
downs, a threat as a rusher
in passing situations.
Doing so would mean

Seattle made only a

in the offseason and none has the chance to

Seattle believes he could add to its revamped
defense. And especially in a defensive scheme
that is geared even more toward the lineback-
ers with Ken Norton Jr. taking over as defen-
sive coordinator.
“It’s definitely finding roles for guys and
getting to figure them out and who they are
and all that,” coach Pete Carroll said. “He has
done a lot of stuff, even back in college. Right
now, to have him playing outside linebacker
and also rushing in the nickel package, it’s
just the right spot for him.
