andThe pitch from Felix Hernandez sizzled toward his catcher like a meteor, nicked the webbing of his glove and skipped on by.
A curious Mariners manager Mike Hargrove stepped up for a closer look and soon was shaking his head and uttering "Jeez!" as Hernandez's next pitch exploded in catcher Rene Rivera's glove with a popping sound. It was the movement on the pitches that had Hargrove so impressed, especially when Hernandez's next offering again deflected away from a befuddled Rivera and bounced to the side.
andDaily highlight: OF Mike Wilson, the team's second-round pick in 2001, put on a power display in batting practice with some opposite-field blasts — including a home run — in one round. Wilson went out the very next round and pulled a pair of consecutive homers to left field, then put the next offering off the top of the fence.
Weather report: Sunny, 78 degreesOkay, I could do without that last part.
