SEATTLE -- While Hisashi Iwakuma felt his command was terrible, the results looked awfully familiar. Iwakuma pitched seven innings of one-run ball despite some trouble with his off-speed repertoire, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox 4-1 on Friday night for their fourth straight victory. Iwakuma (10-6) allowed just five hits despite struggling to throw strikes with his curveball and slider, and got a boost from Mike Zuninos three-run homer in the fifth. "I think through my experience not only here but back in Japan too, Ive been in the game a long time and I think experience has a big thing to do with todays result," Iwakuma said through an interpreter. Iwakuma became the third Seattle pitcher to reach double-digit victories this season. The right-hander said he had no feel for his off-speed pitches and his most important pitch, the splitter, was not diving as it usually does. But he still managed to strike out three without a walk. Iwakuma improved to 5-2 with a 2.04 ERA in his last eight starts. He has pitched at least seven innings in his last seven outings. "I didnt have command of each of my pitches. I was able to execute when I needed to but thats how it was," Iwakuma said. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 32nd save in 35 opportunities as Seattle remained a half-game behind Kansas City for the second wild card in the American League. Zunino moved into a tie for the major league lead in home runs by a catcher with his 18th of the season. Zuninos opposite-field drive to right off Jose Quintana gave Seattle a 3-1 lead and came after Chicago third baseman Conor Gillaspie dropped a popup from Logan Morrison. Kendrys Morales added a sacrifice fly later in the inning. "Thats where I really want to drive the ball when Im feeling good," Zunino said. "I was able to get a good fastball on a 2-0 count and barrel it up." Dayan Viciedo continued his success against Seattle with an opposite-field homer on the first pitch he saw from Iwakuma in the fourth, but that accounted for all of Chicagos offence. The White Sox have lost four straight and six of seven. "Everything were going through, its just like youre in a funk," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. "If it can go wrong, its going to go wrong." Quintana (6-8) retired 12 of his first 14 batters before falling apart in the fifth when Seattle sent nine batters to the plate. Chris Denorfia walked on four pitches to start the inning, followed by Gillaspies error. Quintana fell behind Zunino and left a fastball elevated on the outer half of the plate. CANO, CAN HIT Seattles Robinson Cano extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single in the seventh inning, matching a season high. He also stole his ninth base, setting a new career high. Cano is hitting .412 with two homers during the hit streak. LONG BALL STREAK Viciedo has homered in three consecutive games and has connected in three of five games against Seattle this season. Its the third time in his career Viciedo has homered in three straight games. TRAINERS ROOM Chicago: Outfielder Adam Eaton lasted one batter before leaving the game. Eaton grounded out to start the game and walked slowly back to the dugout. He left with soreness in his rib cage and was replaced by Leury Garcia. Seattle: Utilityman Willie Bloomquist was lost for the season after a scope on Friday revealed that he needed microfracture surgery on his right knee. Bloomquist should be ready by spring training next season. UP NEXT Chicago: Former Seattle pitcher Hector Noesi (6-8) will throw for the second time in his career against the Mariners. Noesi was designated for assignment earlier this season by Seattle, but has latched on with the White Sox and is scheduled to make his 19th start. Seattle: Left-hander James Paxton (2-0) will make his second start after several setbacks that have limited him this season. Paxton threw 4 1-3 innings on Aug. 2 in Baltimore in his first start since April 8. Paxton first landed on the disabled list in April because of a strained lat muscle. Soccer Jerseys China .

Vince is in line to bat at No 5 in next weeks first Test, having been called into the squad as a replacement for the now-retired James Taylor.The Hampshire mans first-class batting average is a shade over 41 but Hussain is in no doubt that the right-hander - a regular member of Englands one-day squads - will flourish at the highest level. He really impressed this winter in the limited-overs games and around the team, Hussain said of Vince on Sky Sports News HQ.
