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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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. Even
