ANAHEIM -- Provided a little offensive support, Felix Hernandez rarely loses. How rare was Friday's 6-5 defeat when the Mariners' ace was given a five-run lead? The Mariners hadn't lost a game Hernandez started when they scored five or more runs since May 18, 2010, when they dropped a 6-5 decision to the A's. And when Hernandez is spotted a five-run cushion in a game? Seattle is now 33-2 in that scenario, the only previous such loss coming on Sept. 23, 2006, at the White Sox. Hernandez didn't take the loss Friday but wound up with a no-decision when the Angels tied the game at 5-5 and then won it on Josh Kinney's wild pitch in the ninth. Admittedly, there was a little shock after this one....
