PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) - Edgar Martinez had three hits, including a three-run homer, as the Seattle Mariners pounded out 17 hits in a 16-8 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday.

Martinez also had five RBIs for the Mariners, who jumped in front with a five-run third inning and a four-run fourth.

``We played really well,'' Martinez said. ``It felt good to make some hard contact and help the team.''

Mike Cameron, acquired in the Ken Griffey Jr. trade, had two doubles, Mark McLemore homered and singled, and John Olerud had a two-run homer in the fourth off Padres closer Trevor Hoffman.

Hoffman struggled through the fourth inning, allowing four earned runs on four hits. But he said he felt fine on the mound and was able to work on all four of his pitches.

``I felt pretty comfortable on the hill,'' Hoffman said. ``It doesn't count, but nobody wants to get hit like that.''

Kazuhiro Sasaki, Japan's all-time saves leader, made his spring debut for the Mariners in the ninth.

He allowed a double to John Roskos, but caught a line drive back to the mound from Ralph Milliard and doubled up Roskos off of second to end the game.

``He threw a couple of good split fingers,'' Seattle manager Lou Piniella said. ``He's working up his arm strength more than anything else.''

Carlos Hernandez had three hits and Tony Gwynn had two for San Diego.

Al Martin, acquired by the Padres from Pittsburgh two weeks ago, led off the game with a home run.

Notes: Padres left-hander Sterling Hitchcock was scratched Saturday as a precaution after he reported a slight tightness in his left forearm. Will Cunnane started in Hitchcock's place. ... Seattle's Jeff Heaverlo, a 1999 first-round pick out of the University of Washington, pitched two strong innings Saturday in a ``B'' game against the Padres. He needed 27 pitches to get through two innings of work, allowing only one hit and striking out three. ... Kevin Walker, who picked up the loss, left after McLemore lined a ball off his left knee. Walker pitched to two more batters before departing and said afterward that his knee is bruised, but should be fine.
