Mariners recover from thrashing

Seattle used a win over the White Sox to forget about its loss to the Yankees.
SEATTLE (AP) -- The Seattle Mariners didn't want to let the hangover from a 16-5 loss to the New York Yankees last too long.
So they went out and beat the underachieving Chicago White Sox 6-3 Friday night.
"You take losses like that to heart," Ben Davis said. "No one wants to lose like that. Losing enough is bad, but losing like that is tough to swallow."
The Mariners got 7 1/3 strong innings from Ryan Franklin and two triples from Carlos Guillen to beat the White Sox for the fourth time in four tries this season.
Ridding the taste
Davis, who was Franklin's catcher, said the Mariners wanted to get the bad taste from Thursday night out of their mouths. The Yankees' 16 runs were the most ever scored by a visiting team at Safeco Field.
"I think all of us were anxious to get back to the field today and to get a 'W,' " Davis said. "Defeats like last night are very deflating as a team."
Franklin (3-2) beat the White Sox for the second time in eight days despite giving up a two-run homer to Jose Valentin on his fourth pitch of the game.
"He made very few mistakes after that," Seattle manager Bob Melvin said of Franklin's performance.
Franklin allowed three runs on nine hits. Jeff Nelson pitched the ninth for his third save in five opportunities.
Franklin was staggered when Valentin homered 382 feet into the right field seats.
"I knew that I really had to bear down," he said, grinning.
Doubling the pleasure
Guillen tied the Mariners' team record with his two triples. It was the 11th time that a Seattle player had done it, with Ichiro Suzuki the most recent on April 21, 2002.
Guillen doesn't have the blazing speed that Suzuki does. It was the first time he had two triples in his career. He's never had an inside-the-park homer.
"I feel pretty good," Guillen said. "I hit a couple of triples tonight."
Dan Wright (0-1), a 14-game winner for Chicago last season, made his season debut for the White Sox and lasted 4 1-3 innings. He allowed four runs on six hits, four walks and a hit batter, with one strikeout.
Wright began the season on the 15-day disabled list because of right elbow inflammation. He said he felt fine physically.
"I thought I had good stuff," he said. "I just wasn't throwing strikes."
He said it was good to get back on the mound.
"I was excited and really looking forward to pitching," he said. "Maybe too much so."
Taking the lead
The Mariners scored two runs in the fourth to break a tie at 2. Guillen tripled and came home on Bret Boone's sacrifice fly. Edgar Martinez doubled and scored on Mike Cameron's double.
In the sixth, Guillen hit a two-run triple past diving left fielder Brian Daubach for a 6-2 lead. Davis and Suzuki opened the inning with singles.
The White Sox took a 2-0 lead in the first. D'Angelo Jimenez led off the game with a single and Valentin followed with his seventh homer of the season.
The Mariners tied it at 2 in the third. Singles by Davis and Suzuki and a walk to Martinez loaded the bases before John Olerud singled in two runs.
Notes
White Sox RF Magglio Ordonez robbed Suzuki of a home run in the first when he reached over the wall to make a catch.
Cameron went 1-for-2. He's 7-for-12 with two doubles, a triple and two homers, and nine RBIs against the White Sox this season.
