SEATTLE -- After two tough starts on the road, Joe Saunders was back home where he is nearly invincible. Cheap Buffalo Bills Jerseys . Saunders allowed his first earned run in three home starts this season but pitched his eighth career complete game to lead the Seattle Mariners over the Baltimore Orioles 6-2 Monday night before the smallest crowd in Safeco Field history. Saunders (2-3) gave up four hits, walked one and struck out two in his first complete game since April 27, 2012, while improving to 8-0 at the Mariners home. This season, he is 2-0 with a 0.84 ERA in Seattle and 0-3 with a 12.51 ERA in three road starts, although neither he nor his manager can explain the numbers. "I dont know," Mariners skipper Eric Wedge said. "Thats the beauty of baseball. Some guys just have more success against certain teams, or certain hitters, or at certain places." In his last two starts, Sanders didnt get past the fifth inning, allowing seven runs at Texas and then eight runs at Houston. The left-hander said hed been bothered by soreness in his quadriceps against the Astros, but was pain-free against the Orioles as he finished them off in 105 pitches. "I dont know whats going on," Saunders said. "I pride myself on being a good road pitcher, and havent done that well this year. In my mind, I need to be a lot more consistent." The Mariners offence also made things easy for their starting pitcher, beginning with leadoff hitter Michael Saunders, who homered in his first at-bat since he was activated from the disabled list. Michael Saunders sprained his right shoulder April 10 when he crashed into the fence while making a catch. He sent Zach Brittons second pitch into the right-centre seats for his first career leadoff home run. Kyle Seager had a two-run triple and Jason Bay added three hits as the Mariners won their third straight game for their longest winning streak of the season. Their latest victory came in front of 9,818 fans at the 14-year-old ballpark. Joe Saunders only costly mistake came when Matt Wieters hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning to give Baltimore a 2-1 lead. It was the last hit for the Orioles. Seattle broke the game open against Britton (0-1), who gave up six runs and 10 hits over six innings in his first start of the season after being called up from Triple-A Norfolk. "After the home run, I was dog-cussing myself in the dugout because I didnt want to make a mistake," Joe Saunders said. "For the guys to come back like they did, and keep going off a pretty good sinkerball pitcher in Britton, it was impressive to watch and it was fun to watch." Britton got into trouble after a strange sequence in the sixth. After Justin Smoak singled to start the inning, umpire Alan Porter made a hard throw to give Britton the new ball, hitting the left-hander on his throwing shoulder, and the pitcher was briefly shaken up. "The umpire smoked me. I had no idea. I was looking down at the ball, and all of a sudden another ball hit me. It didnt feel great," Britton said. "It kind of hit a nerve so it tingled a little bit, but it was fine after that." When he returned to the mound it didnt get any better. Bay followed with his third hit of the game and, after Robert Andinos sacrifice, Brendan Ryan hit an RBI single. It looked as if Britton might get out of the inning when Michael Saunders hit a weak, broken-bat grounder to second base, but the ball was too slow for the Orioles to turn a double play, and Seager followed with his triple. "Weve all got a good momentum," Andino said. "Everybodys pitching in, doing their part, passing the baton and weve got a good flow going on right now." NOTES: Orioles pitching prospect Dylan Bundy, the fourth selection in the 2011 amateur draft, received a platelet-rich plasma injection and will rest for six weeks. Bundy has what manager Buck Showalter termed a flexor mass, which caused pain in his forearm and elbow. "Were just going to take a conservative approach and get it resolved," Showalter said. "We look forward to him getting going in six weeks." ... After the game, Baltimore optioned C Luis Exposito to Triple-A Norfolk. Before the game, Showalter said the Orioles might activate C Chris Snyder on Tuesday. Snyder was acquired in a trade from the Angels after backup catcher Taylor Teagarden was placed on the disabled list Sunday. ...

Hunter contends that Fisher undermined Hunters efforts to make an agreement and interfered with his position by secretly negotiating with select owners in violation of union bylaws. Filed Thursday in California Superior Court, the suit seeks unspecified damages for defamation and breach of contract. It also names the National Basketball Players Association and Jamie Wior, Fishers publicist, and says Fisher and Wior worked after the lockout ended "to terminate his employment without cause and in violation of his contract." "Wior harboured aspirations to assume a position of responsibility with the NBPA," the suit says. "She set out to craft a new public persona for Fisher, taking control of his media appearances and public statements and encouraging him to overreach his authority." Hunter was ousted in February following an investigation into his business practices that found no illegal conduct but cited several conflicts of interest, questionable business decisions and hiring practices. Fisher finished the season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. "Its unfortunate that I must take this action against an organization where I had the privilege of working with many dedicated associates over 17 years," Hunter said in a statement. "Im proud of our record of achievement on behalf of players during my tenure as Executive Director and will continue to stand up for their interests. But I cannot let stand attacks on my character or accept what has been done." The suit says owners were aided by Fisher when they locked out players in July 2011 after tthe expiration of the last collective bargaining agreement. NBA Jerseys Black Friday 2014. It says the veteran guard realized he could have been on his last contract as a player, so he wanted to secure a "soft landing" after his career by keeping good relations with the league and team owners, even while Hunter was committed to a firm stance. "Unbeknownst to Hunter, however, Fisher was secretly negotiating with the Certain Owners -- on his own and without any authority -- to settle the negotiations on terms less favourable to the players," the suit says. "The NBPAs Constitution and By-Laws vest in Hunter the sole right to conduct collective bargaining negotiations on behalf of the Union. Fishers interference in the negotiations exceeded his authority and undermined the Unions negotiating power. Wiors interference was completely without authority or basis. Ultimately, the players accepted a new CBA that left them with a greatly reduced share of the NBAs revenues." The lockout ended in November 2011 with players receiving a 50-50 split of basketball-related income, after they were guaranteed 57 per cent in the previous deal. The relationship between Hunter and Fisher at times seemed strained, with Fisher often speaking to reporters alone after bargaining sessions while Hunter left quickly. Fisher said he had just learned of the lawsuit before meeting with reporters in Oklahoma City and didnt want to comment. "Obviously in any type of legal situation, you have to be very careful about what you say. So, I guess at the appropriate time Ill be able to respond or make a statement," he said. Wior and a union official didnt immediately return messages. Hunter led the union since 1996 before he was voted out during the All-Star break with more than $10.5 million left on his contract.
