» October 6, 2001: Little used P Dennis Stark and four relievers give Seattle a 1–0 win over Texas, handing the Rangers their only shutout of the year. Bret Boone's solo home run, off Doug Davis, is the scoring. The win is #116 for Seattle, tying the win mark of the 1906 Cubs. Texas will beat Seattle in tomorrow's season finale. Seattle ends the season having won the season series against all 18 opponents they faced: 13 AL teams and five NL. The last team to win every season series was the Tigers in 1968 against nine AL teams. The Mariners broke the record of the 1899 Brooklyn Dodgers (as noted by Walt Wilson), who won series against 11 NL teams.

» April 11, 2002: Doug Davis (2–0) fires a 2–hit complete game as Texas beats Mark Mulder and the A's, 7–0. Davis, an 11-game winner last season, had been criticized by pitching coach Oscar Acosta in spring training for not working hard enough. He will go 1–5 in his next eight starts and be demoted to (AAA) Oklahoma. Kevin Mench hits his first ML home run and drives in four runs, while Ivan Rodriguez and Rafael Palmiero each have three hits.
