GAME: Giants (36-28, 2nd, NL West, – 4.0 GB) at Mariners (27-38, 4th, AL West, – 10.5 GB). GAME #: 66. SERIES: 1st of 3 games. MEETING: 1st. WHEN: Friday, 7:10 p.m., Safeco Field. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (San Francisco, 5-2, 2.26) LHP Jason Vargas (Seattle, 7-5, 3.90). STREAKS: Mariners L 5; Giants L 1. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
As Seattle manager Eric Wedge said following a 6-2 loss is San Diego Thursday, his club needs just one breakout game offensively in order to get over the “bump” at Safeco Field, where the Mariners are batting .198 with the San Francisco Giants due in Friday in thr first of a three-game series.
Based on Ryan Vogelsong’s recent history, getting over the “bump” will be tough to do. Friday’s San Francisco starter is coming off a stellar effort in which he threw 7.2 innings of one-run, three-hit ball against the Texas Rangers in a 5-2 victory Saturday.
The win was Vogelsong’s fifth consecutive win after starting 0-2. The Giants have triumphed in his last seven starts, a span in which his ERA dropped o 2.26, third best in the National League.
Jason Vargas’ last two starts haven’t been effective. Even though he is 1-1, Vargas surrendered nine earned runs over a combined 11.2 innings in outings against the Angels and Dodgers. A closer look at Friday’s probables:
MARINERS: LHP Jason Vargas (7-5, 3.90, 1.13 WHIP)
The 29-year-old Vargas, in his seventh major league season and fifth with the Mariners, will make his 15th start and first against the Giants. Vargas is coming off an 8-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Safeco Field.
A native of Apple Valley, CA., the 6-0, 215-pound Vargas was selected in the second round of the 2004 amateur draft by the Florida Marlins.
He made his debut with Florida July 14, 2005, pitching one inning of relief in a 13-7 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Mariners acquired Vargas as part of a three-team swap Dec. 11, 2008, when the New York Mets sent him along with Mike Carp, Ezequiel Carrera, Endy Chavez, Maikel Cleto and Aaron Heilman to the Mariners. The Mariners sent Sean Green, J.J. Putz and Jeremy Reed to the Mets.
The Mariners also sent Luis Valbuena to the Indians. The Mets sent Joe Smith to the Indians, who sent Franklin Gutierrez to the Mariners.

The 34-year-old Volgelsong, in his eighth major league season and fourth with the Giants, will make his 12th start and first against the Mariners. Vogelsong is coming off an 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers.
A native of Charlotte, NC., the 6-4, 215-pound Vogelsong pitched for Kutztown University before the Giants selected him in the fifth round of the 1998 amateur draft.
Vogelsong pitched in San Francisco’s minor league system until Sept. 2, 2000, when he made his major league debut in a 13-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. Vogelsong allowed two hits and no runs in 2.0 innings.

Vogelsong pitched for the Pirates through 2006, never producing a winning record. He pitched in Japan from 2007-09 and split 2010 between the Pacific Coast League (Salt Lake City) and International League (Lehigh Valley).
Vogelsong signed as a free agent with the Phillies and Angels, but didn’t pitch for either team. On Jan. 11, 2011, he returned to the Giants, signing as a free agent. Vogelsong won a career-high 13 games for San Francisco in 2011 and made the National League All-Star team.
He has a career record of 28-31, 4.39 ERA.
- 2012: Vogelsong has worked into the seventh inning in eight of his 11 starts. He had his best outing May 19 at Oakland when he defeated the Athletics 4-0.

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.
- June 8: Kevin Millwood and five relievers collaborated for the 10th combined no-hitter in major league history in a 1-0 win over the Dodgers at Safeco Field. Millwood (6.0), Charlie Furbush (0.2), Stephen Pryor (0.1), Lucas Luetge (0.1), Brandon League (0.2), and Tom Wilhelmsen (1.0) tied the MLB record for most pitchers used in a no-hitter (Houston vs. the Yankees June 11, 2003). It marked the third no-hitter in Mariners history.
