Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Offseason acquisitions Hector Noesi and Jesus
Montero are paying early dividends for the Seattle Mariners.
Noesi, acquired in a trade with the Yankees, tossed eight scoreless innings in
Seattle's 4-0 win over Oakland on Saturday.
The eight innings marked a career-high for Noesi (1-1), as did his six
strikeouts. He allowed just five hits in all.
Montero, a part of that same trade, backed the stellar performance with a solo
homer and a two-run double and extended his hit streak to eight games.
Justin Smoak added an RBI for the Mariners, who had lost four of five,
including the opener of this three-game series on Friday.
Tommy Milone (1-1) gave up four runs on four hits over six innings in the loss
for the Athletics. They had won three of four entering Saturday.
