Mariners notebook: A different look for Kuma

ARLINGTON-- Hisashi Iwakuma was named American League player of the week and little surprise after throwing the no-hitter Wednesday. It was the first Player of the Week award for Iwakuma and the third for the Mariners this season with Brad Miller picking it up May 18 and Nelson Cruz April 20.

"It hasn't sunk in yet," he said adding that he only just found out when Rick Rizzs asked him about it minutes before. I've only seen it on the news in the past, it's obviously an honor."

Kuma has gone about his business of getting ready for his next start which will be interesting to see after what we saw last week.
