OAKLAND, Calif. - Ichiro Suzuki took Gio Gonzalez's first offering for a ball. He drilled the second pitch down the right field line for a double and his 2,000th career hit.

The Mariners' outfielder, who accumulated 1,278 hits in Japan, became the second fastest to 2,000 hits, recording it in his 1,402 major-league game. Al Simmons did it in game 1,390.

METS: Sidelined since June 7 with a sore shoulder, John Maine was back in the Citi Field clubhouse on Sunday, one day after throwing four scoreless innings in a rehab outing for Single-A St. Lucie.

PADRES: Jake Peavy has tossed about 50 pitches in a bullpen session and says he still hopes to play for the Chicago White Sox this season.

RED SOX: Right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka is scheduled to make a rehab appearance with Single-A Salem or Single-A Greenville on Wednesday.
