- It sounds like Shed Long could be called up to Seattle tomorrow.
Shed Long has been pulled from the Rainiers game. Seems likely he'll be called up for tomorrow's game if Ryon Healy hits the DL with his groin strain.

- Kyle Hendricks became the first pitcher to throw a 81-pitch complete game shutout since Aaron Cook threw one against the Mariners in 2012.
Well, Kyle Hendricks didn't quite do it.

But, with 81 pitches, this is the 10th time on record a pitcher has thrown a shutout in as few pitches as that.
Last: Aaron Cook, 81 for the Red Sox vs. the Mariners, June 29, 2012.
- Mike Leake can swing it too.
The last Red to have multiple hits in his MLB debut was...Mike Leake.
