Worth noting

• Zduriencik said he had a chat with former big leaguer and current Triple-A starter Jeremy Bonderman after Bonderman's rough start for Tacoma on Thursday in front of Seattle's brass. Bonderman, who is attempting a comeback from April 2012 Tommy John surgery, gave up eight runs on 11 hits in five innings.

"I encouraged him to keep his head up," Zduriencik said. "It was just a bad outing, that's all. But there were still some things there that you saw that you liked."

• Wedge said the fact that Montero reported to Triple-A right away despite the fact that he had 72 hours to do so was admirable.

"That does mean something," Wedge said. "I was proud of him for doing that."

• Shortstop Brendan Ryan hit .393 (11-for-28) with two doubles, one homer and four RBIs in eight games during the recently completed road trip. He recorded at least one hit in seven of the eight games.
