GAME: Orioles (42-36, 2nd, AL East, – 6.0 GB) at Mariners (34-47, 4th, AL West, – 16.5 GB). GAME #: 82. SERIES: 1st of 3 games. MEETING: 1st. WHEN: Monday, 7:10 p.m., Safeco Field. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Jason Hammel (Baltimore, 8-3, 3.29) vs. RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (Seattle, 1-1, 4.75). STREAKS: Mariners L 1; Orioles L 2. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
The Mariners, 34-47 at the midpoint of the 2012 season, intended for Kevin Millwood to start Monday night’s opener of a three-game Safeco Field series with the Baltimore Orioles. But Millwood re-tweaked a groin injury in his last start and, as a precaution, Seattle will start Hisashi Iwakuma instead.
Iwakuma has appeared in 14 games for the Mariners this season, none as a starter. He’ll oppose right hander Jason Hammel, who hasn’t seen the Mariners since 2009.
After Baltimore, the Mariners have three in Oakland, then take off four days for the All-Star break, (July 10 in Kansas City). A closer look at Monday’s probables:
MARINERS: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (1-1, 4.75 ERA, 1.42 WHIP)
The 31-year-old Iwakuma, in his first major league season will be making his first start as a replacement for Millwood. Iwakuma has appeared in 14 games with his longest stint four innings April 20 vs. the Chicago White Sox.
A native of Tokyo, the 6-3, 190-pound Iwakuma signed with the Mariners as a free agent Jan. 5, following an 11-year career in his native country. Iwakuma pitched for Osaka Kintetsu from 2001-04, and for Rakuten from 2005-11. His record was 107-69, 3.25 ERA.
In 2004, Iwakuma started out 12-0 en route to a 15-2 record and 3.45 ERA. He had his only 20-win season in 2008 when he went 21-4, 1.87 ERA in 28 starts. Iwakuma won Japans equivalent of the Cy Young award.
In 2008, Iwakuma was named the Pacific League Most Valuable Player and also named an NPB All-Star.
Iwakuma played in the 2004 Athens Olympics and in the 2009 World Baseball Classic, where he won a gold medal.
- 2012: Iwakuma made his Mariners debut April 20 vs. the White Sox at Safeco Field and worked 4.0 innings in relief. He had another 4.0-inning outing May 16 at Cleveland, and has had four other games of 3.0+ innings. He was the winning pitcher in Seattles 7-4 triumph over San Francisco June 16. Iwakuma has two saves, May 30 at Texas and June 2 at Chicago.

The 29-year-old Hammel, in his seventh major league season, and first with the Orioles, will be making his 16th start and first against the Mariners. Hammel is coming off a 13-1 battering at the hands of the Los Angeles Angels.
A native of South Kitsap, the 6-6, 225-pound Hammel graduated from South Kitsap High School and Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario, OR. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays selected Hammel in the 10th round of the 2002 amateur draft.
Hammel pitched in the Tampa system until April 11, 2006, when he made his major league debut in an 8-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. He lost, allowing seven runs on eight hits in 3.2 innings.
Tampa used Hammel as a starter and reliever from 2006-08. On April 5, 2009, the Rays traded him to the Colorado Rockies for Aneury Rodriguez.
Hammel spent three years with the Rockies, winning 10 games in 2009-10. He fell to 7-13, 4.76 in 2011.
On Feb. 12, 2012, the Rockies traded Hammel along with Matt Lindstrom to the Orioles for Jeremy Guthrie.
- 2012: Hammel pitched into the seventh inning in four of his 15 starts. He allowed two or fewer runs 10 times and has been shelled twice. He allowed four home runs in a 4-1 loss to Toronto May 30.

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.
- July 1: One-time Mariner farmhand David Ortiz of the Red Sox hit a sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th inning, giving Boston a 2-1 win over the Mariners.
