Baek set for season debut as Mariners battle Rangers
Baseball Betting Lines
04/23/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cha Seung Baek makes his season debut this evening when the Seattle Mariners open a brief two-game set with Texas at Rangers Ballpark at Arlington.
Baek, who will be starting in place of injured phenom Felix Hernandez, has been impressive over the course of his young career against Texas, going 3-0 against them with a miniscule 0.83 earned run average in three starts.
The 26-year-old right-hander started six games for the Mariners down the stretch last season and was 4-1 with a 3.67 ERA. For his career he is 6-5 with a 4.55 ERA in 13 games, 11 of which have been starts.
Seattle lost its sixth straight game on Sunday, as it dropped a 6-1 decision to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Angel Stadium. Adrian Beltre homered and Raul Ibanez was 1-for-2 with two walks for the Mariners, who have lost seven of their last nine.
Jeff Weaver (0-3) exited after three full innings, giving up seven hits and three runs, striking out three and not walking a batter.
Texas, meanwhile, won the final two games of its three-game series with the Oakland Athletics, including a 4-3 win on Sunday. Hank Blalock went 3-for-4 and drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth to seal the win.
Blalock also scored a run and finished with two RBI, while Sammy Sosa knocked in a run for the Rangers, who have won two straight since dropping three in a row. Kenny Lofton recorded his 2,300th career hit, ending 2-for-3 with a run scored.
Willie Eyre (1-0) earned the win in 1 2/3 innings of relief of Robinson Tejeda, who pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on nine hits with six strikeouts.
Akinori Otsuka recorded his second save of the season by getting two outs in the ninth. Eric Gagne started the ninth and left with one out with a hip injury.
Gagne, who almost had to leave Saturday's win with back spasms, will be re- evaluated today, but likely won't be available to pitch tonight.
Getting the call for Texas tonight will be veteran right-hander Kevin Millwood, who is 2-2 with a 4.91 ERA. Millwood was tagged with the loss in his last start on Wednesday against Chicago, as he allowed five runs and five hits in five innings.
Millwood is 6-3 lifetime against the Mariners with a 3.45 ERA in 10 games.
Seattle took two of three from the Rangers earlier in the season, but Texas is 37-23 in the series since the start of the 2004 campaign. The Mariners have also struggled in Arlington, where they have lost in 21 of their last 29 visits.
