On Motherâs Day, 29 year-old Felix Hernandez becomes the fourth youngest player to strike out 2,000 batters when he whiffs Aâs outfielder Sam Fuld in the Marinersâ 4-3 victory at Safeco Field. Only Walter Johnson, Bert Blyleven, and Sam McDowell have accomplished the feat at a younger age than the Seattle right-hander known as King Felix.
The Mariners sign ace pitcher Felix Hernandez to a seven-year contract for $175 million, making him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball history. The Mâs also sign veteran lefty Joe Saunders to a one-year contract, but for considerably less money.
Felix Hernandez tosses the first perfect game in Seattle Mariners history, and the record third perfect game in the majors this year. He dispenses of the Tampa Bay Rays, 1 â 0, using 113 pitches, while striking out 12, including five of the last six batters he faces. It is the third no-hitter â and the second perfect game â thrown in Safeco Field this season, the first time that one stadium had seen two perfect games in a season. Coming into 2012, there had never been a no-hitter at the ballpark.

Despite an unspectacular 13-12 record, Felix Hernandez is named the American League Cy Young Award winner ahead of Tampa Bayâs David Price (19-6) and New Yorkâs CC Sabathia (21-7). King Felixâs league-leading 2.27 ERA and the lack of run support provided by the last-place Mariners made the Seattle ace an easy choice for the Baseball Writersâ Association of America, who placed him first on 21 of the 28 ballots cast.
In an inter-league contest against the Mets at Shea Stadium, Marinersâ right-hander Felix Hernandez becomes the first pitcher in the 31-year history of the franchise to hit a home run. The round-tripper, which comes off fellow Venezuela ace Johan Santana, is also the first grand slam hit by an American League pitcher since Steve Dunning of the Indians homered off Aâs moundsman Diego Segui in 1971.
In the Marinersâ 5-4 win over Florida at Safeco Field, Felix Hernandez strikes out the side on nine pitches to become the 13th pitcher in American League history to throw an immaculate inning. King Felixâs fourth frame victims include Jeremy Hermida (swinging), Jorge Cantu (swinging), and Mike Jacobs (looking).
