Iwakuma sets Mariner's Rookie record for K's while Mariners trade two pitchers.

     What a night for Hishashi Iwakuma!  He set the Mariner's rookie record, striking out 13 Blue Jays in 8 innings, getting his first Major League win as a starter.  Iwakuma gave up a leadoff home run to Rajai Davis (after a nice 2-2 Sinker was called ball three) but went on to scatter only four hits and three walks on 109 pitches.  He baffled the Jays by using all five of his pitches effectively and keeping them guessing--and missing--all night.  Josh Kinney and Lucas Leutge came on in the 9th to close out the 4-1 win. 
     After the game was over, the Mariners announced that they had completed two trades.  Reliever Steve Delabar was sent across the diamond to the Blue Jays for left-handed hitting OF Eric Thames.  Thames has hit .243 with the Jays, with 3 HR and 11 RBI in limited action this season.  Also traded was relief pitcher Brandon League, who was sent to the Dodgers in exchange for two prospects.  The Mariners acquired Leon Landry, a speedy slugger who has a Minor League-leading 15 Triples, to go along with a .328 BA, 8 HR and 51 RBI's for the Dodgers High Class A Rancho Cucamonga club.  The other player received is AA reliever Logan Bawcom, who sports a 4-4 record on the season with 20 Saves.  He has been lights-out since June 26th, with a 1-0 record along with 6 saves and an 0.60 ERA for Chattanooga.
