WHEN: Saturday, 1:10 p.m., Safeco Field. PROBABLE PITCHERS: LHP Bruce Chen (Kansas City, 7-8, 5.54), RHP Kevin Millwood (Seattle, 3-8, 4.13). STREAKS: Mariners W 2; Royals L 3. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network
In a ceremony at Safeco Field Saturday, former Seattle stars Randy Johnson and Dan Wilson will become the fifth and sixth members enshrined in the Mariners Hall of Fame (first 20,000 fans receive a dual bobblehead). For special occasions, it’s always nice to have a highly beatable opponent in the visiting dugout, and the Mariners certainly can’t complain about having the Kansas City Royals there.
In six games against the Royals, including Friday night’s 6-1 win, the Mariners are batting .327 (72-for-220) with 26 extra-base hits, including 10 home runs, four triples and 12 doubles. The Mariners have scored 41 runs in those games with no let up in sight.
This provides Kevin Millwood, winless in 10 consecutive starts, an excellent chance to pick up his first victory since May 23. He’ll oppose Bruce Chen, who has been slammed for 25 earned runs in his past five outings. A closer look:
MARINERS: RHP Kevin Millwood (3-8, 4.13 ERA, 1.37 WHIP)
