Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) – Rookie Tyler Saladino drove in the winning run with a single in the 11th inning and the Chicago White Sox rallied to beat the Seattle Mariners 6-5 yesterday. Alexei Ramirez singled and Tyler Flower walked to start the rally before Ramirez advanced to third on Carlos Sanchez’s flyout and scored on Saladino’s hit. David Robertson (6-3) struck out three in two innings for the victory.
CHICAGO (AP) – The Seattle Mariners have optioned left-handed starter Mike Montgomery to Triple-A Tacoma and recalled reliever Mayckol Guaipe. Montgomery was 4-6 with 4.60 ERA in 16 starts for Seattle. He lasted just 1 1-3 innings against Oakland on Tuesday and was charged with five runs and seven hits. Seattle made the moves yesterday.
SEATTLE (AP) – Washington coach Chris Petersen is keeping his starting quarterback a secret until taking the field for Friday night’s season opener at No. 23 Boise State. Petersen said yesterday the Huskies decided the best move for their program was withholding the name of their starting quarterback, in part to limit distractions heading into the opener.
SEATTLE (AP) – Obafemi Martins scored his 10th goal of the season in the opening minutes, Brad Evans converted a disputed penalty kick just before halftime and the Seattle Sounders beat the Portland Timbers 2-1 yesterday. Seattle (12-13-2) picked up its second victory of the season over its Cascadia rival, but more importantly got a needed three points in the Western Conference playoff race.
