SEATTLE -- On the day Felix Hernandez returned to the mound, Leonys Martin gave the Seattle Mariners the biggest boost.Martin hit his second home run of the game, a solo shot with one out in the 11th inning that sent Seattle over the Chicago White Sox 6-5 on Wednesday.Every time you win a ballgame, its good no matter how you win the ballgame, but this is a great feeling, Martin said.Martin hit a two-run drive in the second inning. He then drove an 0-2 pitch from Dan Jennings (3-2) over the wall in right for his 13th homer. His previous season high was eight homers in 457 at-bats with Texas in 2013.With two strikes, especially in the second half, hes taking some walks, hes not swinging quite as hard, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. I believe the pitch he hit out was an 0-2 pitch. Not trying to kill it, just hit it, because hes got a lot of ability.Vidal Nuno (1-1) pitched one inning for the victory.Seattle pulled within 5-4 on Mike Zuninos two-run homer in seventh. The Mariners tied it on Adam Linds solo shot in the eighth.The Mariners nearly won it in the 10th. Nelson Cruz drew a two-out walk and tried to score on Kyle Seagers double, but right fielder Adam Eaton threw out the Seattle slugger at the plate.Hernandez, activated off the disabled list earlier in the day, allowed five runs on 10 hits in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out two and walked two in his first start since May 27.It feels good to be out there, try and do my job to help my team to win, said Hernandez, who threw 94 pitches. I had a good sinker, got a lot of groundballs. They were swinging, they were swinging at every pitch and thats why my pitch count was pretty low.Todd Frazier hit a three-run homer in the first off Hernandez. Fraziers 28th home run tied him for the major league lead with Baltimores Mark Trumbo.It was a changeup. I left it up, Hernandez said. Fraziers got pretty good pop and put a good swing on it.Hernandez struck out Eaton to begin the game, but Melky Cabrera followed with a double into the left-field corner. Justin Morneau drew a two-out walk and Frazier connected for his third homer in three games.The White Sox added a run in the second on consecutive two-out singles by Tyler Saladino, Eaton and Cabrera to make it 4-0. Martin homered in the bottom half.Chicago pushed the lead to 5-2 in the fifth on a leadoff triple by Cabrera and Morneaus single.Seattle cut the led to 5-4 in the seventh on the home run by Zunino, also called up earlier in the day from Triple-A Tacoma. It was the third homer for Zunino, who hit two during an earlier two-game call-up.Lind, whose pinch-hit, three-run homer in the ninth inning gave Seattle a 4-3 victory on Monday, tied it with his 15th homer.The home run was our friend early, and then it became our enemy, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. You give up enough of those, its tough to withstand it.Servais was pleased with what he saw from Hernandez.I think for the first time out, he was probably better than I thought he would be, other than the home run that he gave up to Frazier, Servais said. I thought his stuff was good, I thought he was pretty crisp, but after the first inning at that point if you had told me he was going to get as deep as he did into the game, I probably wouldnt have believed it.STRIKEOUT MACHIINEMariners rookie reliever Edwin Diaz fanned all three batters he faced in the eighth, giving him six consecutive outs by strikeout. The 22-year-old hard-throwing righty has struck out 42 in 20 2/3 innings, while allowing five runs.UPON FURTHER REVIEWIn the eighth inning, Seager was called safe at first ahead of a double-play relay. The White Sox challenged and the play was overturned. Lind followed with a solo homer.UP NEXTWhite Sox: RHP James Shields (4-11, 5.10 ERA) makes his ninth start for Chicago to open a four-game series at home against Detroit. Shields, acquired in early June from San Diego, is 2-2 with a 1.91 ERA in his last four starts.Mariners: Seattle opens an 11-day, eight-game road trip on Friday at Toronto. LHP James Paxton (2-4, 4.56 ERA) starts the opener, followed by Hisashi Iwakuma (10-6).TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: With LHP Carlos Rodon (wrist) not ready to come off the disabled list, RHP Jacob Turner will get his second start of the season Friday.

FRANKFURT, Germany -- Schalke has gone from a historically cold start to one of the hottest teams in the Bundesliga in a matter of a few weeks.The season could not have gotten off worse for Schalke, which lost its first five league games -- a club record nobody wanted.Since then, however, Schalke has won five straight in all competitions as it heads into one of the biggest matches of the season in Germany against Borussia Dortmund.The Revier Derby, named after the coalmining Ruhr region, is the most anticipated match in the area no matter which positions in the standings the two teams happen to be sitting on.The coal mines are all but gone, but the passion of the derby lives on unabated.For many fans, victory in the derby is the only thing that matters in a season.Not so for Schalke coach Markus Weinzierl, who will be making his derby debut.I think more of long-term development. Its about improvement and the trend is positive, Weinzierl said ahead of Saturdays match in Dortmund. We are still trying to rebound from the bad start. We havent achieved anything.Schalke has a large, committed following, but the team is one of the notorious underachievers in the Bundesliga.It has not won a championship since 1958 -- five years before the Bundesliga was established.It went into this season with high hopes, which still might materialize. Borussia Moenchengladbach lost its first five games last season and still managed to qualify for thee Champions League, which is Schalkes goal.ddddddddddddThe club lured Weinzierl, one of Germanys most sought-after young coaches, and revamped the team in a major spending spree.It takes time to get the team to understand what we want as coaches and to use its strength, Weinzierl said. New players came into the squad relatively late. I had to get to know the players.Of the new arrivals, defender Coke, still has not played after injuring his knee before the season. Forward Breel Embolo had his ankle broken in a tackle just as he was beginning to show his potential.While new players largely sat out the first few games, they are now beginning to make their mark. Naldo, Abdul Rahman Baba and Nabil Bentaleb are usually in the starting 11. Yevhen Konoplyanka scored two goals in Schalkes 3-2 German Cup win over Nuremberg and one in the Europa League at Krasnodar.Bentaleb, on loan from Tottenham, also scored three goals in his last two matches.While Schalke seems to be reviving its season, Dortmund is going through a mini slum, winless in its last three Bundesliga matches. Coach Thomas Tuchel has been forced to use several untested young players because of a slew of injuries hitting his team.The match will raise a lot of emotion and it will be decided by details. Experience could play a role, Weinzierl said. ' ' '
