When he finally connected, Russell Branyan made it count. Branyan rebounded from a frustrating string of strikeouts with a mammoth homer over Monument Park, and the Seattle Mariners beat CC Sabathia 8-4 on Thursday night to snap the New York Yankees' seven-game winning streak. "Majestic," Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said. Franklin Gutierrez also homered and Ichiro Suzuki hit a two-run double that was misplayed by center fielder Melky Cabrera.

Picollo said, "He is certainly a name we have talked about and will continue to talk about, but I think that is probably an overstatement. Right now there is a free-agent pool out there and we are looking into every one of those guys. And with Erik being left-handed it stands out a little bit more."  (Fanball - Wed. Nov 25, 2009)
