SPORTS Saturday, August 6, 2016 MLB Zunino powers M’s over Angels Seattle Mariners’ Mike Zunino (3) is greet- ed at the plate after hitting a three-run home run during Friday’s game in Seattle. By TIM BOOTH Associated Press SEATTLE — Mike Zunino capped Seattle’s six-run irst inning with a three-run home run off Tim Lincecum, and the Mariners held on for a 6-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Seattle overcame a rough irst from Los Angeles starter Felix Hernandez and rallied with its largest irst-in- ning output since scoring Seattle seven runs on May 15, 2013 against the New York Yankees. Seattle sent up 10 batters and recorded seven hits against Lincecum (2-6) — who lasted just 3 1/3 innings — capped by Zunino’s sixth homer of the season. Zunino fell behind 0-2, held back on a trio of borderline pitches, then golfed the 3-2 pitch into the bullpen just beyond the wall in left ield. AP Photo/Ted S. Warren 4 6 Hernandez (6-4) settled down after giving up a three-run shot to Mike Trout in the irst. He retired 12 of the next 13 after Trout’s 20th homer and picked up his second win since coming off the disabled list. Hernandez gave up a double to Yunel Escobar on the irst pitch of the game, Trout’s homer two batters later and a solo shot by Jett Bandy leading off the ifth. Otherwise, the Angels could not solve Hernandez, who struck out six and walked three. Hernandez completed eight innings for the irst time this season and irst since Sept. 10, 2015 against Texas. Rookie Edwin Diaz struck out the side in the ninth for his third save in three chances. UP NEXT Angels: Tyler Skaggs (1-0) makes his third start of the season. Skaggs got a no decision in his last start against Boston despite throwing 5 1/3 shutout innings. Mariners: Taijuan Walker (4-7) returns from the disabled list to make his irst start since July 5. Walker was sidelined by tendinitis in his right foot. East Oregonian Page 5B MF HORSE: Sold for $250,000 Continued from 1B said Patty. “He made such an impression.” Deep-pocketed horse buyers took notice. The Harringtons decided to bring their homebred to the auction ring, where he sold for $250,000. “That’s the most I’ve ever got for a horse,” said Patty. It was the irst home-bred horse she had ever sold. The buyers were Danny Kramer and Sol Kumin and Head of Plains Partnership, the same ownership group behind Exaggerator, this year’s Kentucky Derby runner-up and Preakness winner. Milton Free- water’s new trainer is Doug O’Neill, who trained Nyquist, winner of this year’s Kentucky Derby. It was hard to sell a horse with such a bright future, but the money was life-changing. “Personally I did not want to part with him,” said Patty. “But I always knew from the time he was born that if I could get enough money for him I would sell.” With blue blood, fast times, a high price and top-notch connec- tions, much is expected of Milton Freewater. “He’s a runner,” O’Neill told Thoroughbred Daily News in July. Milton Freewater’s second start came in a stakes races last week, where the colt inished third in a 5 1/2 furlong dash at Del Mar. From Milton Freewater’s running motion, it was clear the longer, classic distances will be more to his liking. O’Neill is based in Southern California, and it appears the horse will be too. If Milton Freewater continues to excel, he could race in the top tier of prep races and be a possibility for next year’s Triple Crown series. Only three-year-old horses can compete in those races, so everything will have to line up for Milton Freewater to have a chance to run for the roses next May. “He has some great expecta- tions,” said Patty. She hopes the horse does well, stays healthy and continues to progress. If it does, good things are sure to come Milton Freewater and Milton-Freewater’s way. “Everyone likes his name,” said Patty. “The town might be about to be famous.” ——— Tim Trainor is opinion page editor at the East Oregonian.

GRIFFEY: Humbled by the honor of having number retired SINGER: Continued from 1B so it was not surprising to see them cruise their way to a state championship. The Pilot Rock softball team had one of the most complete lineups and as dominant a 1-2 punch in the pitching circle in the state, so it was also no surprise to see them ease their way to the second-straight state title. And though I never got to watch them in person, I enjoyed staring at the absurdity of Stanield baseball’s box scores trying to igure out how one team could win like they did on an everyday basis. And lastly, it has brought me to a part of the United States I likely never would have traveled to in my lifetime, but I’m glad it did. After growing up in a relatively lat part of Ohio, I still can’t get over the awe and the beauty of the Blue Mountains when I’m driving into town or the sights all around in the Columbia River Gorge, and often times catch myself staring around for longer than I should be while operating a vehicle. I’m thankful for the opportunity that was given to me by the EO and you the readers, last year. It’s still hard to fathom that one year has passed by already, but now I am excited to see what year two brings my way. ——— Contact Eric Singer at esinger@eastoregonian. com or (541) 966-0839. Follow him on Twitter @ ByEricSinger. Continued from 1B extremely important. If you look at my irst apartment in Seattle, it was 1124. My house number was 24606. There is a lot of things that have to do with 24.” Griffey is back in Seattle this weekend to see that famous No. 24 retired by the Mariners. His number retirement comes less than two weeks after he became the irst player to go into the Hall of Fame as a Mariner. His number will be the irst retired by the Mariners, and it will be set aside throughout the organization, not just with the major league club. The whole team will wear No. 24 during batting practice Saturday, and then it will be shelved forever. Griffey sounded humbled by the honor when he spoke on Friday, in part because his number will hang next to Jackie Robinson’s No. 42 — retired throughout baseball — as the only numbers honored at Safeco Field. “An organization has to feel that it’s worthy and I know there are certain criteria that have to be met to even be mentioned and for a team to do that is the ultimate sign of respect for what you did on the ield. It’s overwhelming, humbling because of the guy, the number I’m going up next to, who basically sacriiced his life for guys to play and that’s Jackie Robinson,” Griffey said. “It’s a weird feeling former teammate Edgar Martinez, now Seattle’s hitting coach, had his picture taken with the plaque in the Mariners’ clubhouse. Griffey has not watched the television replay of his emotional Hall of Fame speech and doesn’t intend to soon. And he doesn’t expect his speech to the loyal Mariner fans on Saturday evening to be any easier to deliver. “It’s a big deal. I don’t take what I did lightly and tomorrow is deinitely one of those things that it is special and it’s pretty neat,” Griffey said. “I get to enjoy it with the people who have seewn me from a teenager to a 40-year-old.” because of what he’s done and to allow pretty much everyone to play this game. And I’m going to be right next to him, so I haven’t really had a total grasp on it.” Seattle is pulling out all the stops for Griffey’s inal honor of the summer, including commem- orative hats, bases and balls for the games. Saturday’s retirement program could run as long as an hour in front of what could be the largest crowd ever at Safeco Field. Griffey started Friday by raising a No. 24 lag atop the Space Needle that will ly through the weekend, then spent time in the afternoon posing for pictures with Mariners staff next to his Hall of Fame plaque that is on display.
