Ichiro walked, hit a pair of singles and flied out in his 20th multi-hit game of the season, improving his batting average to .320 after a 2-for-3 performance at Safeco Field.
The Japanese outfielder drew a leadoff walk from Erik Bedard in the bottom of the first inning and scored on a Jose Lopez two-run homer before an Adrian Beltre RBI single gave Seattle a 3-1 lead.
