This is an interesting stat.

Great note from @MarinersPR: With last night's win, Mariners are 18-1 (.947) in extra-inning games over last two seasons. That's both the most wins and best winning percentage in MLB in that span. Oakland is second in wins (15) and Yankees second in percentage at .688 (11-5).

Felix Hernandez has a grade 1 lat strain. Said he was relieved it was not worse. Felt it on the final pitches he threw Sat. Will be shut down for a short time.
