Felix Hernandez gave the Mariners their first Opening Day complete game in history; the previous best was 8 1/3 innings. He threw a five-hitter to beat the A's 6-2. It was the fourth Opening Day start for Hernandez, who is 3-0 with a 1.71 in those games. The Mariners scored six runs for him; last year they scored six runs while he was in the game just three times in 34 starts. This is a good sign for a Mariners team that is looking to compete this year.

After Friday's season opener, Rangers manager Ron Washington maintained he's "dug in" on starting Julio Borbon over David Murphy in the outfield.

The Rangers called on Murphy in the eighth inning of a tie game with Boston to have him hit for Borbon against Boston right-hander Daniel Bard. Murphy responded with a two-run double that provided the winning runs in the Rangers' 9-5 win. Texas went on to score twice more in the inning, essentially making the difference between Murphy and Borbon six runs on Friday. The Rangers took the first two from Boston in big fashion and will look to keep going against the Mariners.

The Mariners are 5-1 in Bedards last six road starts and the Mariners are 5-2 in Bedards last seven starts. The Rangers are 1-7 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15 and will drop a game to Seattle.

The Rangers lose against Seattle and this could be a rivalry to watch all season long. Play on Seattle
