PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) -- Ichiro Suzuki set a Seattle spring training record by getting a hit in his 16th straight game and drove in three runs to lead the Mariners to a 15-9 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
Suzuki had two hits in five at-bats and is hitting .518 (28-for-54). He broke Ken Griffey Jr.'s record from 1986. ``He's just amazing,'' Mariners manager Mike Hargrove said. ``I tried to get him to come out in the sixth (inning) but he wanted to stay in as he is taking a day off tomorrow.
