PROBABLE PITCHERS: LHP Derek Holland (5-4, 5.05) vs. RHP Kevin Millwood (3-6, 3.69). STREAKS: Mariners L 1; Rangers W 2 . TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
The Mariners enter the second half of the season trailing the Texas Rangers by 16.5 games in the AL West, a near-record deficit by a Seattle team at the All-Star break. But Seattle is 5-5 against the division leaders this season in part because Friday’s starter, Kevin Millwood, is 1-0 with a 1.06 ERA against his former club.
In the first game the series, Millwood will oppose the enigmatic Derek Holland — enigmatic because had no trouble dispatching the Mariners 5-3 in his first start against them this season in April, then caved in a subsequent start May 30, when the Mariners saddled the Rangers with 21 runs.
Following the series, the Mariners head out on the road for seven, including four at Kansas City and three at Tampa Bay. A closer look at Friday’s probables:
