GAME: Rangers (53-35, 1st, AL West, +5.0 GA) at Mariners (37-52, 4th, AL West, – 16.5 GB). GAME #: 90. SERIES: 3rd of 3 games. MEETING: 13th (series tied 6-6). WHEN: Sunday, 1:10 p.m., Safeco Field. PROBABLE PITCHERS: LHP Matt Harrison (Texas, 11-4, 3.10) vs. RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (Seattle, 1-1, 4.84). STREAKS: Mariners W 1; Rangers L 1. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV.

Safeco Field opened for business 13 years ago Sunday — July 15, 1999 — and since then the Mariners have posted a 569-493 record in the ballpark. To achieve win No. 570, the Mariners will have to solve one of the toughest pitchers they have encountered, Texas All-Star left-hander Matt Harrison (11-4, 3.310).
In the series finale, Harrison seeksto extend his winning streak against Seattle to eight games. For his career, Harrison is 8-1 with a 2.51 ERA against the Mariners. He earned victories over Seattle in back-to-back starts in May, posting a 1.80 ERA with 12 strikeouts in the two games.
“They (Mariners) are a team I’ve had success with in the past,” said Harrison, who will become the first pitcher in the AL to 12 if he wins Sunday. “There is a lot of familiarity. I know what I want to do so it’s a matter of executing my pitches.”
Nasty stat: No Mariners batter with more than six at-bats against Harrison is hitting above .300 against him. Seattle hitters are batting just .193 against the Rangers left-hander, who will oppose RHP Hisashi Iwakuma. A closer look:
