Felix Hernandez' job has been nothing in short supply of remarkable, and the eight-year veteran is finally needs to achieve some traditional numbers to demonstrate that. Besides recording his 1,500 strikeout two begins ago contrary to the Rangers, the 27-year-old had still another landmark in mind as he approached Monday night's game in Houston. One that had eluded the King in his past three starts. For Hernandez, it proved that four times was the charm as he cruised through six scoreless innings from the AstrosAto obtain the gain, the 100th of his career. The woeful MarinersAoffense did not give the support to him he needed as the team dropped each game by one run, although he pitched well enough to earn a win in his preceding three begins. On this night however, Seattle's bats came living totaling seven works on 12 visitors, that has been ample for Hernandez. His nine strikeouts didn't harm the M's chance of winning much either. In picking up the victory, Felix became just the next Seattle pitcher to achieve the 100-win plateau, joining two all-time Mariner greats in Randy Johnson and Jamie Moyer. As remarkable as this milestone is, it's difficult not to imagine where that gain whole will be sitting if Hernandez had a name on the top of his standard, as it is no secret that the Mariners offense shows deficiencies in support to say the least. Nevertheless, the King is completely reign as he evened his time record out at 2-2 and found his ERA decrease to 1.82 for the entire year. His 37 strikeouts will also be third in most of the majors, only following Yu Darvish by one for the AL lead. Although it may have taken him considerably longer than expected to reach No. 100, there's still apparently a whole lot left in his tank. With where that career wins total is going to be at by the time his spikes are hung up by King Felix the past time his talent and some potential out of this young Mariners team, there is no telling.
