SEATTLE -- Jeremy Bonderman spent the final three innings in the back of the Seattle Mariners clubhouse going through his normal treatment routine. As special as Friday night was for Bonderman, he tried to keep it like any other outing. This one happened to be his first victory in nearly three years. "Getting back out on the field and feeling like you can compete and hold your own feels really good," Bonderman said. Brendan Ryan and Jason Bay both hit two-out, two-run singles in Seattles four-run fourth inning, Bonderman pitched six sharp innings to win for the first time since 2010, and the Mariners beat the New York Yankees 4-1. All of Seattles offence came in one stretch of the fourth inning when six straight batters reached base, capped by the clutch hits from Ryan and Bay off Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda. Seattle entered the night hitting .221 with runners in scoring position, but capitalized on the few chances they got against Kuroda. The surprise was Bondermans effort, winning for the first time since Sept. 8, 2010, while still pitching for Detroit. He struggled to get through the first two innings, but shut down the Yankees from there. It was a special moment for Bonderman, after enduring right elbow reconstruction in April 2012 and various shoulder problems that have interrupted his career at times. But Bonderman wasnt thrown in the showers and doused with drinks to celebrate. Handshakes and hugs were enough. "We dont have a ton of time around him, but you know what hes gone through to get here and you see the look in his eye and how competitive he is and everything, its awesome to see what he did today," Ryan said. "Were happy for him and Im sure he feels like its been a long time coming, but hopefully it was all worth it." The Yankees have scored in two of 18 innings to open the four-game series in Seattle. New York scored all six runs in the third inning on Thursday night then was shut out after the first on Friday. Bonderman (1-1) appeared on his way to an early exit, needing 50 pitches to labour through the first two innings. He got out of the first allowing just one run on Travis Hafners ground out and was helped in the second by Vernon Wells baserunning mistake when he was picked off second after reaching on an error. From there, Bonderman flashed back to his best days in Detroit. He retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced with perfect innings in the third, fourth and sixth. The only baserunner Bonderman allowed after the second was Reid Brignac, who reached on a single in the fifth. Bonderman was done after the sixth inning, giving up just three hits and striking out two. He threw 47 pitches over his final four innings. It was a satisfying rebound after Bonderman gave up three home runs and seven earned runs in his first start for Seattle in Minnesota last Sunday. Yoervis Medina pitched the seventh and first two outs of the eighth before walking Brett Gardner. Seattles Charlie Furbush entered and struck out Robinson Cano looking on a 3-2 pitch. Tom Wilhelmsen gave up just his second hit to a right-handed batter when Kevin Youkilis lined a two-out double in the ninth, but finished off his 15th save. "It was big for him, it was big for me, for all of us, because thats a significant step," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said of Wilhelmsen. "Obviously he was relaxed and drove the ball downhill." Seattles rally against Kuroda (6-5) came with two outs and the bases empty. Michael Morse doubled, but it was the consecutive walks to Nick Franklin and Kelly Shoppach that hurt Kuroda. Ryan hit a liner into right field that fell in front of Ichiro Suzuki to score Morse and Franklin. Endy Chavez followed with a roller back up the middle that hit second base and Brignac behind the bag couldnt handle the deflection. Bay then lined a single into left to score Shoppach and Ryan, and cap the Mariners big inning. "I didnt want to make a big inning out of it, but I wanted to protect that one run lead," Kuroda said through an interpreter. "So I got a little too careful and pitched around too much." NOTES: New York closer Mariano Rivera continued his farewell tour on Friday by meeting with high school and college students participating in the Mariners "Fielders Group" program that gives training for youth interested in a career in sports. Rivera spoke with the group of 11 students for about 30 minutes and was late getting out to batting practice. ...

CHICAGO -- Even Carmelo Anthony struggles to process the enormity of his Olympic accomplishments.The New York Knicks superstar and Team USA stalwart is on the verge of becoming the first American man to participate in four Olympic basketball tournaments.It really hasnt sunk in yet about the fact that Im playing in four Olympics and have an opportunity to win three gold medals, Anthony said before the U.S. mens basketball teams practice on Thursday. I think about it, but I havent really sat down and put everything into perspective. A lot of times when youre going through these situations, you tend to not put so much focus on the whole process and the journey until after the fact.As much as Anthony tries to shy away from the possibilities, the fact is he could become the most decorated Olympic mens basketball player in American history if Team USA rolls to its third straight gold medal in Rio next month, as is expected. Hes also in line for a slew of other Olympic mens basketball records.According to ESPN Stats & Information, Anthony is just 35 points shy of becoming the Olympic mens basketball all-time leading scorer. LeBron James currently holds the record with 273 points, spread out over the past three Olympics.Anthony has played in 23 Olympic basketball games, just one shy of the record James and David Robinson share for most in American history.Anthony has racked up 83 rebounds over the past three Olympics. Thats good for fourth in American history. Robinson owns the lead with 124.Anthony has made 75 field goals in Olympic play, good for fifth in American history. Michael Jordan owns the record with 111 made field goals over his two Olympics.Anthonys rise to the top of the U.S. program is even more impressive when you consider his humble beginnings on Team USA. In the 2004 Athens Games, Anthony played in just seven contests, according to basketball-reference.com, and scored just 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the tournament that saw the Americans earn a bronze medal.Jerry Colangelo was brought in months later as U.S. mens basketball managing director -- in charge of overhauling the organizations system and to try to atone for the underwhelming finish in Greece. But it was in those difficult moments immediately after a shocking loss to Argentina in the 2004 medal round that the foundation for Anthonys love of the program was formed. As one U.S. player after another dejectedly walked off the floor, it was Anthony, then just 20 years old, who individually walked most of the team back to the locker room.Jim Boeheim, Anthonys college coach at Syracuse and a mens basketball team assistant under Mike Krzyzewski since 2006, knows the player who helped the school win its only national title in mens basketball has changed a lot since his first Olympic experience.A huge development, Boeheim said. All those guys in Athens, even LeBron, and all those guys were young. And they did crazy stuff -- they did what teenagers do when theyre out on their own for the first time. Carmelo has really, over the years, matured in terms of on and off the court. Hes a leader now. He has been a leader for a while. Hes accepted his role on our Olympic teams. Hes been part of two gold medal-winning teams, one he started on and one he came off the bench. Now hes back, and Im glad hes back because he gives us a veteran guy thats been there, along with Kevin [Durant], two guys that won gold medals.Anthonys veteran presence is something this young American team will be able to lean on during its defense of another world title. The fact that Anthony continues to annswer the bell for his country on the Olympic stage is something Colangelo gushes over.dddddddddddd. Out of all the stars in Americas deep pool of basketball riches, it is Anthony who has become the unlikely face of the national program over time, not James or Durant.The fact that he has had a commitment for that period of time and has served for that period of time is an incredible example for the other players, Colangelo said. Number one, its been healthy and good for him in terms of participation and being ready for the next season just a few months later when they go into training camp. He also, in the international game, has thrived. Hes been very successful in it, so its a feel-good kind of a situation. When youre happy and youre a player and you thrive in a system, you want to be there. So when you look at all that he brings to the table -- the leadership, the experience, the fact that hes been so successful -- its all of those factors that make it very special.But aside from health and longevity, what is it about Anthonys game that has made him so successful over time on the international level? Boeheim noted that the 3-point line is a little closer, 23 feet, 9 inches at the top of the key in the NBA compared to 22 feet, 1.7 inches in FIBA. But the larger key is the versatility in the All-Stars repertoire.Carmelos game hasnt changed that much, Boeheim said. He gets open, he makes shots and if you get up on him [he can] get to the basket. Probably internationally, hes a little better because they dont have many shot-blockers internationally, so he can get to the rim and shoot. Hes a really good offensive player anyway, but hes really even probably a little better internationally.After all these years, Anthonys reasoning for continuing to come back to Team USA is simple -- it has been a part of his entire basketball life. Aside from the soon-to-be four Olympic appearances, Anthony won a silver medal in 2001 as part of USA Basketballs Youth Development Festival. He earned bronze medals in the 2004 Games and the 2006 World Championships. And besides his two Olympic gold medals, he earned another gold in 2007 as part of the team that won the FIBA Americas tournament.I enjoy it, Anthony said. At first, early, Athens was -- I wanted to come back and kind of redeem myself -- myself as an individual and ourselves as a country. We did that. And just the program and the foundation that Jerry Colangelo laid and put into place -- I wanted to be a part of that.Anthony has a chance to cement that legacy even further in Rio, and Boeheim is hopeful that his schools famed protégé can help push the rest of the group to the mountaintop one more time.I wanted him to come because I thought it would be good for him to have a good experience again in basketball, Boeheim said. But I thought it was good for our team to have a guy thats been there.Anthony is trying to take all of this in stride. As much as he doesnt want to admit it, he has become the man that the rest of his teammates and coaches look up to as they try to dominate the rest of the basketball world.I try not to think like that, Anthony said of being the face of the Olympic mens basketball team. I think Im a big part of USA Basketball, but as far as being the face, thats a lot of pressure.As he has proved time and time again since those difficult moments 12 years ago in Athens, its a pressure that he has proudly overcome for the love of the game and his country.
