Zito overcame a first-pitch home run by Ichiro Suzuki and the Oakland Athletics went on to beat the Seattle Mariners 10-4 Thursday.

Suzuki lofted a home run about 10 feet inside the foul pole in right field to open the game. It was his first home run of the season and his second career leadoff homer, with his other one coming at Los Angeles last July 6.

Suzuki also extended his hitting streak to 15 games. The reigning AL MVP, who had a career-high 23-game hitting streak last season, is in the midst of his third streak of 11 or more games this season.

``There are not many ways to get him out,'' Zito said. ``He doesn't even fly out that much.''

Suzuki, who is batting .384 to lead the majors, went 3-for-3, giving him a league-leading 17 multihit games.

``If anybody's got a chance to hit .400, he's the guy who can do it,'' A's manager Art Howe said.

haHA, yes, i like olerud, but a player who is slow, marginal hitting ability(but still the sweetest swing in baseball(when he connects with the ball)), and he wears a batting helmet while on the field. all reasons why he is NOT the coolest mariner.

olerud wears that helment because when he was in college he had an anuerysm, and had to wear it when he started playing again. He has ever since.

Question: would you rather make money to set you for life, WHILE playing a game that you love. Or would you rather enjoy a desk job until you are 65 to put your three kids through college?
