Baseball FROM PAGE 1 By Josh Dubow TheAssociatedPress OAKLAND Drew Pomeranz approached his fill-in start the same way he has every outing in relief this season. Maybe that's why he had so much more success than he's used to as a starter. Pomeranz pitched five scoreless innings for his second win in his past 20 starts and the Oakland Athletics salvaged a split of a doubleheader by beat- ing the Seattle Mariners 2-0 in the nightcap Wednesday. "It felt a little weird at first," Pomeranz said. "I was trying to take the same mentality I've had all year. I've had some success doing that, staying in the stretch, keeping things as simple as I can out there. Just tried to treat it like I was coming into a game." The Mariners over- came a shaky start from ace Felix Hernandez to win the opener 6-4 on Justin Smoak's two-out single in the 10th inning. Despite the loss in the nightcap, Seattle heads home satisfied follow- ing a 7-2 road trip that also included stops in New York and Houston. "To come out of this se- ries 7-2 is just an unbeliev- able trip in my opinion," manager Lloyd McClen- don said. "Just phenome- nal. I was very proud of the team and how they played. We put ourselves in a pretty good position." Yoenis Cespedes hom- ered for the second straight day and Craig Gentry scored from first on a single by Jed Lowrie to help the A's snap a six-game home los- ing streak. Pomeranz (2-1) was sharp in his first major league start since last July, allow- ing two hits and no walks in five innings with five strikeouts as he mixed in his change-up for the first time all season. Pomeranz won just one of his final 19 starts with Col- orado, leading to an offsea- son trade to the A's where he has pitched well in relief. But he stepped in when the A's needed another starter for the doubleheader and got the win. "I couldn't have expected any more than that," man- ager Bob Melvin aid. "Pretty fantastic for a guy who hasn't started a game for us in spring or this season." TheA'stooktheleadinthe third.Gentryranonthepitch fromfirstbaseonafullcount with two outs when Lowrie's popupfellbetweenleftfielder Cole Gillespie and shortstop Brad Miller for a hit. Cespedes added to the lead in the fourth with a solo homer off Erasmo Ramirez (1-4), who was called up from Triple-A Tacoma ear- lier in the day to make the start. Ramirez allowed two runs in six innings. Dan Otero, who allowed the go-ahead hit in the 10th inning of the opener, pitched three scoreless innings of relief and Jim Johnson fin- ished the three-hitter for his second save and first since losing the closer's job a month ago. "That's what he's used to doing — 1-2-3 today," Melvin said. "That was huge." This was just the second traditional doubleheader in Oakland in the past 16 years, with the other in 2011. The makeup game was nec- essary because a game was postponed April 4 when the field was unplayable af- ter there was no tarp on it overnight. Hernandezfailedtostrike out a batter for the first time Aug. 19, 2008, against the Chicago White Sox, end- ing a streak of 179 straight starts with at least one strikeout. He allowed four runs — three earned — and matched his career worst against Oakland by giving up 11 hits in 6 1/3 innings. "No strikeouts, not a good breaking ball, not a good change-up," Hernan- dez said. "That's what hap- pens when you don't have good stuff." Brandon Moss hit an RBI triple that capped a three- run seventh against Her- nandez, but the A's could not hold a late lead as Robinson Cano tied the game with an RBI single off Luke Greger- son in the eighth. Smoak gave the Mariners the lead when he hit a chop- per off the glove of leaping first baseman Daric Barton for an RBI single off Otero in the 10th after Ryan Cook (0-1) left the game with a strained right forearm. Cook will have an MRI to- day but does not believe the injury is serious. Yoervis Medina (2-1) pitched the ninth for the win, and Fernando Rod- ney pitched the 10th for his ninth save in 10 chances.
