GAME: Mariners (25-33, 3rd, AL West, – 9.0 GB) at Angels (29-28, 2nd, AL West, – 4.5 GB). GAME #: 59. SERIES: 3rd of 3 games. MEETING: 7th (Angels lead 5-1). WHEN: Wednesday, 7:05 p.m., Angels Stadium, Anaheim. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Hector Noesi (Seattle, 2-6, 5.51) vs. RHP Jerome Williams (Los Angeles, 6-2, 3.68). STREAKS: Mariners L 1; Angels W 1. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
Felix Hernandez was supposed to pitch the final of Seattle’s three-game series against the Angels Wednesday, but the Mariners scratched the ace when he experienced back problems. Hernandez is now tentatively slated to pitch Sunday.
RHP Hector Noesi, pulped in his last start, will take Hernandez’s place. Although Seattle is 1-5 against the Angels this season after losing 6-1 Tuesday, the Mariners can still pull off a series win and a winning road trip with a victory in Wednesday night’s finale.
The Mariners are 4-4 on this nine-game trek against three of the AL’s hottest teams in the Rangers, White Sox and Angels. But Noesi is coming off one of his worst outings of the year. He’ll oppose RHP Jerome Williams, who defeated Seattle May 26. A closer look:
MARINERS: RHP Hector Noesi (2-6, 5.51 ERA, 1.17 WHIP)

LAST GAME
Angels 6, Mariners 1
AT ANAHEIM (June 5): Mark Trumbo homered twice and went 4-for-4 with four RBIs, leading the Angels. Trumbo’s four hits tied a career high. Garrett Richards (1-0) pitched seven innings for his first major league victory. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed a run and four hits, walked two and struck out eight against an offense that averaged 9.2 runs over its previous six games, including a 21-8 rout at Texas Wednesday. Richards was filling in for ace Jered Weaver , who is on the disabled list with a lower back strain. Richards yielded only one hit through the first 4.2 innings, a lead-off homer by Michael Saunders in the third. Seattle starter Blake Beavan (3-5) pitched five innings and gave up six runs on 10 hits in 5.0 innings, including three homers. It marked the third time in 26 big league starts that the right-hander allowed three in one game, including consecutive home starts last August against Boston and Toronto.

Angels last swept a three-game series in Anaheim Sept. 10-12, 2010.
- LATEST: Seattle starter Blake Beavan surrendered three home runs Tuesday. “It’s been like this the last couple of starts. I’m making good pitches and bad pitches at the same time,” Beavan said. “I feel like I’m making a lot more good pitches than bad pitches, but nothing’s going my way right now. I think the only thing I can do is keep working hard between starts and try to battle through it. Hopefully it will turn around.” . . . Hisashi Iwakuma replaced Beavan in the sixth and pitched three scoreless innings. The only hit off Iwakuma was a double by Trumbo, capping his 4-for-4 day with four RBIs . . . Michael Saunders served as most of Seattle’s offense, going 3-for-4 with a home run, double and single. Over the past eight games, Saunders is 16-for-34, .470 . . . Ichiro went 0-for-4 and is hitless in three straight games for the first time since a three-game stretch last July . . . In initial All-Star balloting, Ichiro is ninth among 15 AL outfielders.

Former Mariners GM Hal Keller died in his sleep early Tuesday at age 84 after a battle with esophageal cancer. He joined Seattle’s front office as director of player development before becoming GM for three years, and later scouted for the Angels.

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.
