DETROIT (AP) -- Seattle Mariners pitcher Ryan Franklin was suspended 10 days for violating his sport's steroids policy, the eighth major league player caught under the tougher rules enacted this year prohibiting performance-enhancing substances.

 

The announcement Tuesday came one day after Orioles slugger Rafael Palmeiro was suspended after testing positive for steroids.

 

Franklin, a 32-year-old right-hander, is 6-11 this season with a 4.61 ERA in 22 games, including 20 starts. He was expected to talk with reporters later Tuesday.

 

``We are very disappointed to learn this news,'' Mariners spokesman Tim Hevly said. ``But it's the direction of Major League Baseball, and, following its rules, we are not able to comment further.''

At this rate there will be no players left by the end of the season they'll all be out on suspension.

No wonder Bonds isn't coming back this year.
