GAME: Red Sox (40-35, 3rd, AL East, – 6.5 GB) at Mariners (32-45, 4th, AL West, – 15.5 GB). GAME #: 78. SERIES: 1st of 4 games. MEETING: 1st.WHEN: Thursday, 7:10 p.m., Safeco Field. PROBABLE PITCHERS: LHP Franklin Morales (Boston, 1-1, 3.12) vs. RHP Felix Hernandez (Seattle, 5-5, 3.35). STREAKS: Mariners L 1; Red Sox W 2. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
Figuring they needed one more bat to reach the postseason in 1996, the Mariners traded a promising minor league slugger to the Minnesota Twins for Dave Hollins, who played in 28 games for Seattle, which failed to make the playoffs. After that season, Hollins signed as a free agent with the Angels.
The minor league slugger Seattle sent to Minnesota, David Arias, later changed his playing name to David Ortiz, who brings a record of 398 home runs (25 against the Mariners) to Seattle Thursday for the start of a four-game series.
Felix Hernandez will make his 16th start and will do so against converted reliever Franklin Morales. A closer look:
MARINERS: RHP Felix Hernandez (5-5, 3.36 ERA, 1.26 WHIP)
The 25-year-old Hernandez, in his eighth major league season, all with the Mariners, will be making his 16th start and first against the Red Sox. Hernandez is coming off a spectacular 7.0-inning outing in which he defeated San Diego 5-1.
A native of Valencia, VZ., the 6-3, 230-pound Hernandez was signed as a non-drafted free agent July 4, 2002 by Seattle scout Bob Engle.
He made his major league debut Aug. 4, 2005, absorbing a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers, in a game in which Hernandez allowed one earned run and fanned four. Hernandez is a two-time American League All-Star (2009, 2011) and won the AL Cy Young award in 2010, when he went 13-12 with a 2.27 ERA.
Hernandez has worked into the seventh inning in 11 of his 15 starts and into the eighth inning five times. Before defeating San Diego last Saturday, Hernandez hadn’t won a game since May 21, although he’d pitched well enough to win at least twice. Hernandez has a career record of 90-72, 3.25.

RED SOX: LHP Franklin Morales (1-1, 3.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP)
The 26-year-old Morales, in his sixth major league season, second with the Red Sox, makes his third start and first against the Mariners. Morales, converted from a reliever into a starter, is coming off an 8-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
A native of Morros, VZ., the 6-0, 200-pound Morales was signed by the Colorado Rockies as an amateur free agent in 2002. He pitched in the Colorado system until Aug. 18, 2007, when he made his major league debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Morales allowed one earned run on five hits in 5.1 innings, but did not factor in the decision.
Morales worked for the Rockies as both a starter and a reliever, never winning more than three games in any season. On May 19, 2011, the Rockies traded Morales to the Red Sox for a player to be named later, or cash.
Morales probably had his best year in 2009 when he went 3-2, 3.69 ERA. He made two starts, finished 14 games and recorded seven saves.
Morales has a career record of 9-13, 4.37 ERA.
2012: Morales spent most of the season working out of the Boston bullpen, with 24 appearances and two starts. Until making his first start, Morales had not worked more than 4.1 innings in any appearance. In his first start June 17 at Chicago, Morales recorded a career-high nine strikeouts.
- LAST START: June 23 vs. Atlanta, defeated the Braves 8-4 at Fenway Park; allowed two earned runs on seven hits over 6.0 innings; struck out eight and walked just one.
- LAST VS. MARINERS: Aug. 13, 2011, worked 0.2 innings of relief in a 5-4 Seattle victory at Safeco Field; did not factor in the decision; one strikeout.
- CAREER VS. MARINERS: 0-0, 13.50 ERA in three games, no starts, covering 2.0 innings; three strikeouts, t one walk; one home run.
- AT SAFECO FIELD: 0-0, 0.00 ERA in two games, covering 1.1 innings; two strikeouts vs. no walks; no home runs.
- LOVES/HATES TO FACE: Morales has limited exposure to Mariners hitters, who are 4-for-7, .571 BA against him. Only Jesus Montero and Miguel Olivo have hits off Morales.

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.
- June 18: Aaron Hill of Arizona hit for the cycle in the Diamondbacks’ 7-1 win over the Mariners. Hill singled in the first (Hector Noesi), tripled in the third (Noesi), doubled in the fifth (Noesi) and homered in the seventh (Shawn Kelley).
- June 19: Ichiro reached 2,500 hits (first-inning single) in the fourth-fewest games in major league history during a 12-9 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. His 2,500th hit came in his 1,817th game. Al Simmons had 2,500 hits in 1,784 games, Ty Cobb in 1,790 and George Sisler in 1,808 . . . When Kyle Seager and Brendan Ryan both hit three-run homers in the fifth inning, it marked the first time since July 30, 2003 vs. Detroit that the Mariners had a pair of three-run bombs in the same inning. In that July 30, 2003 game, John Olerud hit a three-run homer and Randy Winn a grand slam in the first inning.
