Brendan Ryan went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-3 loss to the Indians. Since manager Eric Wedge indicated on May 4 that Brendan Ryan would remain the team's starting shortstop, Ryan is batting 5-for-31 (.161). He has gone 19 games without an extra-base hit. He will continue to earn at-bats solely because the Mariners have no better option.
