headed Norwich in front early in the second half before captain Sebastien
Bassong was adjudged to have fouled substitute John Guidetti inside the penalty
box. Walters scored the resulting penalty but, less than five minutes later, was
dismissed for a dangerous challenge on Canaries midfielder Alex Tettey. Norwich
could not find a winner and had to settle for the draw.

for a new start, just to see where things are going, to bring some kind of
tradition back to the team and guys being excited about something new," the
defensive back said during a conference call Monday after agreeing to stay with
the Bombers rather than go to free agency next month.

"Free Nene!" The Wizards did just fine without the suspended Brazilian
forward.SEATTLE - Another well-pitched game for the Oakland Athletics came with
a price. Scott Kazmir threw six sharp innings before leaving with tightness in
his left triceps, and Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer that broke a scoreless
tie in the eighth that lifted the As over the Seattle Mariners 3-0 Sunday.
Kazmir called it was "a very, very minor" injury. He said it wont cause him to
miss a start, but the As have reason to be cautionary. This spring the club lost
staff ace Jarrod Parker to season-ending elbow surgery and A.J. Griffin is
sidelined for perhaps the first two months with a strained forearm. Oaklands
staff has an AL-leading 2.17 ERA. "Its exciting to have guys follow up a quality
start, one after another, one through five. It really is exciting," Kazmir said.
"We just want to keep going out there and keep making quality pitches and
quality outings, all of us." Kazmir pitched two-hit ball, striking out nine
without a walk. As manager Melvin said that the first time he noticed Kazmir was
affected by the tightness was at the end of the sixth. Kazmir had a similar
issue during training camp, missing one start with triceps tightness.
"Everything checked out as far as his strengthening and what he does after a
game," Melvin said. "He wanted to go back out but you have to be careful with a
guy like that." Mariners star Robinson Cano said Kazmir was exceptionally tough.
"He was making guys chase his slider and throwing the heater at 95," Cano said.
Cespedes pulled a 2-2 slider from Charlie Furbush (0-1) into the left-field
bullpen. Cespedes second homer of the season came after Jed Lowrie drew a
leadoff walk. Josh Donaldson added a solo home run in the ninth, his third, off
Lucas Luetge. Dan Otero (2-0) retired two batters in the seventh. Luke Gregerson
worked the eighth and Sean Doolittle allowed one hit in the ninth for his first
save. Chris Young made his first start since Sept. 9, 2012, while with the New
York Mets. Troubled by shoulder problems all last season, he went to spring camp
this year with the Nationals, was released and signed during the last week of
training camp by Seattle. Young pitched six shutout innnings, giving up four
hits.
Thurman Thomas Jersey. He walked three and
struck out two. Youngs other outing for Seattle was a two-inning scoreless stint
in relief. "I was really, really pleased with his outing," Mariners manager
Lloyd McClendon said. "He got a lot of flyball outs, teased them up in the zone
a bit. I think he is close. I saw his breaking ball coming today. When that
pitch comes for him, hes going to be pretty tough." Kazmir didnt allow a runner
and struck out six the first time through the lineup. The Mariners got
back-to-back, one-out singles by Brad Miller and Cano in the fourth, but Kazmir
retired Corey Hart on a grounder and struck out Justin Smoak with a 78 mph
changeup. The Mariners only other scoring threat came with two outs in the sixth
when Brad Miller sent right fielder Eric Sogard to the wall to bring down his
flyball. Cano, who singled in the fourth, has a 14-game hitting streak against
Oakland dating to Sept. 22, 2012. NOTES: Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon isnt
sure about Major League Baseballs expanded replay format. "Im really worried
about where were heading with replays, the effect its having on the game, the
effect its having on the fans," McClendon said. "Its confusing." McClendon is
concerned about the outfield transfer rule, when umpires look to be sure
fielders successfully switch the ball from the glove to their hands. The
Mariners already have had three such plays this season, with mixed results. "It
was made for the play at second, on the double-play ball," Melvin said. "I dont
think anyone thought it would come into play in the outfield as youre seeing
right now." Both managers have had to talk to their players to be certain that
runners go against their instincts and watch the umpires, not the play, in order
to advance or hold. "I think the players are struggling more than the managers,"
McClendon said. "Initially, I thought Id be a fan of it. But Im not so sure
now." ... Mariners top pitching prospect Taijuan Walker (shoulder) is scheduled
to make another rehab start Tuesday in the minors. Seattle has an open spot in
the rotation for that day, but McClendon said he doesnt know when Walker will be
called up.
