Seattle Mariners catcher Kenji Jojima went 2-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and outfielder Ichiro Suzuki extended his hitting streak to 11 games in a 7-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.
Mark Kotsay of the Oakland Athletics slides home safely as Seattle Mariners catcher Kenji Jojima jumps out of the way during their game on Wednesday.
Jojima lined into a double play to third, doubled to deep left and singled to center before hitting a sacrifice fly to right in a two-run eighth inning at McAfee Coliseum, improving his batting average to .280.
"I like the sacrifice fly the best among the results of my four at-bats because I was able to cope with the pitch very well. I wanted to at least bring the runner home from third," Jojima said.
