Mariners 4, Athletics 0
SEATTLE — Mariners rookie Michael Pineda dazzled again, throwing six shutout innings for his third straight victory. Pineda's night was shortened only because of a rising pitch count. The right-hander gave up just three hits in his first five innings. And when he faced trouble in the sixth, he got Kurt Suzuki to line out to left and a ground ball from Mark Ellis to end the threat.
