Rangers, Mariners scoreless after three

Felix Hernandez has allowed only one a hit, a one-out single by Hank Blalock in the second, but Tommy Hunter pitched around three singles and a walk as the Rangers and Mariners enter the fourth inning in a scoreless tie. The Mariners threated in the second as their first two hitters reached, but Hunter retired the next three. Elvis Andrus made a nifty stop, turn and throw to second base for a force out to end the threat.
