OAKLAND, Calif. -- Felix Hernandez wasnt nearly as sharp as he has been recently and got off to a sluggish start in the first two innings against the Athletics.It hardly mattered on a day when the Mariners backed their ace with another 14 runs of support, something they did in Hernandezs previous outing.Hernandez overcame his slow start and pitched six scoreless innings to continue his dominance at the Oakland Coliseum and Seattle Mariners beat the As 14-3 on Saturday.The first three innings I was a little wild and the ball was moving all over the place, sinking and cutting, Hernandez said. After that I just started to pound the strike zone. The offense picked me up. Its good for us.Seattle remained 3 1/2 games behind the second wild card spot.Hernandez (11-5) gave up four hits and a walk in the first two innings then settled in for his second consecutive win. Seattles six-time All-Star walked one and struck out two for his seventh win since coming off the disabled list.King Felix also showed hes king of the Coliseum.Hernandez improved to 12-3 there, tying Tommy John for the most wins by an opposing pitcher at the 50-year-old stadium.Just trying to calm down, not be too quick to the plate and I made good pitches, Hernandez said.Nelson Cruz had three hits and three RBI, Nori Aoki also had three hits and drove in two runs, and Kyle Seager hit his 28th home run to help the Mariners to their seventh win in eight games against the As this season.Seattle batted around twice and had seven players with two hits or more.The offense really carried us today but it does take pitching to shut them down, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Felix gave us a chance to put the runs up there.The As, conversely, continued to struggle at their ballpark. With 41 losses at the Coliseum, Oakland is guaranteed of consecutive losing seasons at home for the first time since 1997-98.Ryon Healy had three hits including a two-run home run for the As.Cruz doubled and scored on Kyle Seagers single in the first. Cruz doubled again in the third and drove in two runs when the Mariners batted around to go up 6-0.Aoki, who went into the day batting .337 in 22 career games against the As, made it 8-0 with a two-run double in the sixth to chase Kendall Graveman (10-10).Seager hit his second home run in three days off reliever J.B. Wendelken leading off the seventh.Graveman allowed eight runs and a career-high 12 hits over five-plus innings with three walks and one strikeout.It was just one of those games where he was a little bit off and didnt have command of his fastball like he normally does, As manager Bob Melvin said.AOKI WARMING UPAoki had his best game since coming off the disabled list, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, three runs scored and a walk. Getting their leadoff hitter comfortable will be key for the Mariners as they head down the stretch. He comes back with a vengeance, Servais said. Really good at-bats, hes driving the ball.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: Right-hander Tom Wilhelmsen pitched one inning and allowed Healys home run after being activated from the disabled list before the game.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Virginia Tech proved it can overcome a slow start and turnovers.The Hokies fell behind by 17 points early and trailed by 10 to start the fourth quarter, but Jerod Evans guided them to a touchdown and a pair of field goals by Joey Slye in the quarter to beat Notre Dame 34-31 Saturday.Evans threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another in intermittent snow and 20 mph winds. The Hokies (8-3) had been 0-3 when trailing at halftime this season and minus-9 in turnovers in its three losses. Evans threw an interception on a pass that bounced off the hands of Cam Phillips and fumbled when he was sacked, leading to 10 points by the Irish on the two turnovers.Evans said the Hokies knew the game wasnt over after falling behind 17-0.We know were more than capable of doing of what we do with the high-powered offense, so you dont lose confidence easily when youve got that type of talent, he said.The Virginia Tech defense shut down the Irish offense in the second half. After giving up 299 yards in total offense, the Hokies held the Irish to 150 yards in the second half -- with 67 yards of that came on a touchdown run by Josh Adams that extended Notre Dames lead to 31-21 and 57 coming on the final drive of the game.They hit us on a couple of plays early that they had not shown, but our kids hung in there, Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster said. It was a tale of two halves. They did some unique things and we adjusted.DeShone Kizer, who was 13-of-18 passing for 199 yards with two touchdowns in the first half, was just 3 of 15 for 36 yards in the second half.We had some balls that were catchable that we didnt catch. I just dont think we executed quite as well offensively, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said the Hokies simply pllayed better after halftime.ddddddddddddI dont think there was any great revelation at halftime. Its just, weve got to play better, he said. We were out there dropping the ball on the ground, giving up big plays. Just not playing Virginia Tech football. I think guys kind of settled down and got their feet underneath them and felt like if theyd just execute theyd have a chance to have success. Thats what they did.THE TAKEAWAYVirginia Tech: A solid performance after a slow start should give the Hokies confidence as they try to clinch the ACC Coastal Division.Notre Dame: It was the same old story for the Irish, who squandered a double-digit lead in a loss for the third time this season. The loss clinched a losing season for the Irish, just the 14th time in 128 seasons of playing football and the first since going 3-9 in 2007.POLL IMPLICATIONS: The win against the Irish could get the Hokies back in the poll.UNWANTED RECORDThe loss drops Kellys record to 59-30 in seven seasons at Notre Dame, tying him with Lou Holtz for most losses at the school. Holtz was 100-30-2 in 11 seasons. Kelly will finish with only his second losing season in 26 seasons as coach. Central Michigan finished 4-7 in his first year as head coach there in 2004.UP NEXTVirginia Tech: The Hokies finish the regular season with their annual game against rival Virginia. The Hokies have beaten the Cavaliers 12 straight times.Notre Dame: The Irish finish the season against rival USC. In their last trip to face the Trojans in 2014, the Irish were blown out 49-14.
