Worth noting

• Going into Tuesday's game, Charlie Furbush had the fifth-longest scoreless-inning streak ever by a Mariners reliever at 19 1/3 innings. Ahead on the list are Roy Thomas (19 2/3 in 1983), J.J. Putz (22 in 2007), Edwin Nunez (24 in 1985) and Shigetoshi Hasegawa (28 2/3 in 2003).

Furbush also has the seventh-longest streak of relief appearances with a strikeout at 16 straight games and he's put up a 0.44 ERA in that span.

• Ichiro Suzuki has 99 career home runs, one shy of becoming the 12th Mariners player to hit 100.

• Jesus Montero was hitting .375 (23-for-72) against left-handed pitchers going into Tuesday's game, the fifth-best average in the AL against lefties and seventh in the Majors.
