The Seattle Mariners, sitting at 8-9, mosey into Petco Park in San Diego, California, to face the 10-6 Padres. This American League West versus National League West showdown goes down at 9:40 PM and will be broadcast on MLB.TV. The Mariners are rolling with right-hander Emerson Hancock (2-1, 2.04 ERA), while the Padres are countering with right-hander Randy Vasquez (1-0, 1.02 ERA). Hancock's got a tidy 0.74 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 17.2 innings, but Vasquez isn't outdone - he's got a 1.08 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 17.2 innings of his own.
The Mariners are dealing with some injury woes, including Miles Mastrobuoni and Victor Robles on the 10-Day IL. Still, with team ERAs that are basically polar opposites - Seattle's 2.95 and San Diego's 3.41 - and batting averages that are, well, not exactly eye-popping (.208 for Seattle, .227 for San Diego), this one's shaping up to be a pitcher's duel for the ages.
