The M's win 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth on Ichiro's two-out walk-off single -- Ich's 148th hit of the season, which puts him exactly at the pace of his record-setting 262-hit season in 2004. Washburn allowed just 1 run in 7 IP in what may have been his last start as a Mariner, but didn't get the win due to a bullpen collapse. M's 52-48, 7.5 GB. Box score. Next game Weds. vs. TOR, 1:40 p.m.; Rowland-Smith vs. Halladay.

Next game Sunday vs. Chicago, 6 p.m.

Chicago 64, Storm 57

Another slow start by the Storm costs them a game against an inferior team. After falling behind 15-1, Seattle rallied to take the lead in the 4th, but coughed it up late. The Storm missed a ton of easy buckets, shooting only 36%. Tanisha Wright continues to confound; after a career night on Friday, she went 1-7 and fouled out today. Box score. Next game Friday vs. Minnesota, it's Dads & Daughters night. Tickets from $15-160.

Storm 88, Minnesota 71

Lauren Jackson was her usual brilliant self, recording a double-double; but how about Tanisha Wright!

Next game Sunday @ Chicago.
