GAME: Mariners (23-31, 3rd, AL West, – 9.0 GB) at White Sox (30-22, 1st, AL Central, +1.5 GA. GAME #: 55. SERIES: 2nd of 3 games. MEETING: 5th (White Sox lead 4-0). WHEN: Saturday, 1:10 p.m., U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Hector Noesi (Seattle, 2-6, 5.01) vs. RHP Gavin Floyd (Chicago, 4-5, 5.02). STREAKS: Mariners L 1; White Sox W 9. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
After Friday’s 7-4 loss to the White Sox, stoked by Michael Saunders’ two-base error in the eighth inning that led to three unearned runs (fly ball popped him in the face, giving him a shiner), the Mariners are 2-15 at U.S. Cellular Field since 2008 and 3-20 against the White Sox over the past three seasons.
In an attempt to reverse that miserable trend, the Mariners Saturday will send Hector Noesi to the mound. Coming off a loss to the Los Angeles Angels, he opposes Gavin Floyd, who’s having his own problems with a 5.02 ERA. A closer look at the probables:
MARINERS: RHP Hector Noesi (2-6, 5.01 ERA, 1.14 WHIP)
The 25-year-old Noesi, in his second major league season and first with the Mariners, is making his 11th start and second against the White Sox. He is coming off a 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
A native of Esperanza, Valverde, Dominican Republic, the 6-3, 200-pound Noesi was signed as an amateur free agent by the New York Yankees in 2004.
Noesi made his major league debut May 18, 2011 for the Yankees against the Baltimore Orioles. The fifth Yankees reliever, he collected the win by working four innings, allowing four hits, no runs and fanning four.
Noesi became a Mariner Jan. 23 when he was traded by the Yankees, along with Jesus Montero, to Seattle for Jose Campos (minors) and Michael Pineda, an All-Star starter.
Noesi, who appeared in 30 games for the Yankees, making two starts, has a career record of 4-8, 4.75 ERA and 1.32 WHIP.

2012 RECORDS / MILESTONES
- April 24: Catcher Miguel Olivo matched the franchise record when he was charged with three passed balls in a 7-4 win at Detroit. Jerry Narron let three balls get by him Oct. 4, 1980, and Jeff Clement did likewise Aug. 10, 2008 (Clement was catching knuckleballer R.A. Dickey).
- April 27: Michael Saunders joined Donnie Scott (April 29, 1985) and Jimmy Presley (April 8, 1986) as the only Mariners to hit two home runs in a game in the ninth inning or later (solo homer in the 9th, grand slam in the 10th).
- April 30: When both Miguel Olivo and Jesus Montero homered, it marked the first time in franchise history that two players had homered in the same game as a catcher.
- May 2: Ichiro set a club record for most putouts by a right fielder in a nine-inning game, registering 10 in a 5-4 loss at Tampa.
- May 3: The Mariners featured a lineup at Tampa Bay that included seven left- handed hitters and two switch-hitters. It marked only the third time in club history that the Mariners used an all left-sided lineup. Others: Aug. 13, 1983 at California and Aug. 9, 1983 at Oakland.
- May 5: Combined one-hitter by Felix Hernandez and Steve Delabar vs. Minnesota was the 13th in Mariners history. Ten have been thrown by one pitcher, three combined. Most recent combined: Michael Pineda, Jeff Gray and Brandon League vs. Tampa, July 30, 2011. Most recent by one pitcher: Jarrod Washburn, July 6, 2009.
- May 9: When John Jaso batted leadoff against Detroit, it marked the first time since 1978 that a catcher had hit first for the Marines (Bob Stinson). Oddly, lefty Jaso led off against Tiger lefty Drew Smyly.
- May 8: Kevin Millwood’s 2-0 shutout marked his first in nearly nine years. He did not surrender his first hit until there were two outs in the sixth. Millwood’s gem marked only the fourth time in 1,440 games at Coors Field that an opposing pitcher held the Rockies to two hits or less while shutting them out. Millwood’s complete game also was the first by a Mariner in 2012.
- May 27: The pinch-hit grand slam allowed by Felix Hernandez to Alberto Callaspo marked just the sixth against the Mariners in 35 years, and the first since May 6, 1988 when Pat Sheridan of Detroit hit one off Mike Jackson.
- May 30: Mariners defeated Texas 21-8, just the third time in franchise history they have scored 20 or more runs in a game. The Mariners, with 20 hits, became the first team since 1880 to score 20 runs in a game in the same season it also go perfect-oed.
