GAME: Mariners (51-58, 4th, AL West, – 13.5 GB) at Yankees (62-44, 1st, AL East, 6.5 GA). GAME #: 110. SERIES: 3rd of 3 games. MEETING: 9th (Yankees lead 5-3). WHEN: Sunday, 10:05 p.m., Yankee Stadium. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (Seattle, 2-2, 4.10) vs. RHP Freddy Garcia (New York, 4-5, 5.10). STREAKS: Mariners W 1; Yankees L 1. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
The Mariners, who have won eight of their past nine, are 15-6 since the All-Star break (second best in the AL) and have a chance at a rare series win in the Bronx Sunday when they take on the Yankees in the finale of a three-game series. Seattle has won four of its past five series after not earning a series win since June 15-17 vs. San Francisco.
Hisashi Iwakuma has a tough act to follow Sunday, with Felix Hernandez having thrown a 1-0, complete-game shutout over New York Saturday. But Iwakuma is coming off his best start of the season, a 13-strikeout effort against Toronto.
Iwakuma will face former Mariner Freddy Garica, who pitched marvelously against his old club two starts ago, although he did not factor in the decison. A closer look at the probables:
MARINERS: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (2-2, 4.10 ERA, 1.38 WHIP)

In 2008, Iwakuma was named the Pacific League Most Valuable Player and also named an NPB All-Star.

The 35-year-old Garcia, in his 14th major league season and second with the Yankees, will make his 11th start (21st appearance) and second against the Mariners, one of his former teams. Garcia lost to the Mariners 4-2 at Safeco Field July 24 and is coming off a 5-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium July 30.
A native of Caracas, Venezuela, the 6-4, 255-pound Garcia attended Baruta High School in Caracas, VZ., and was signed by the Houston Astros as an amateur free agent in 1993. He pitched in Houstons minor league system until July 31, 1998, when the Astros traded him to Seattle with SS Carlos Guillen and LHP John Halama for LHP Randy Johnson.
Garcia won his major league debut for Seattle April 7, 1999, at the Kingdome, defeating the Chicago White Sox 7-3. He allowed two earned runs on five hits in 5.2 innings. Garcia went on to post a 17-8, 4.07 record as a rookie and had a number of outstanding years with the Mariners.
He went 18-6 for the 2001 club that won 116 games and led the American League in ERA that year at 3.05. Garcia went 16-10 in 2002 and made the All-Star team for the second consecutive year. He finished third in 2001 Cy Young voting.
Garcia still ranks fourth all-time on the Mariners win list (76), sixth in starts (169), sixth in strikeouts (819) and sixth in innings (1,096.1).
Abandoning any hope of contending, the Mariners traded Garcia and catcher Ben Davis to the White Sox June 27, 2004, for outfielder Mike Morse and Jeremy Reed and catcher Miguel Olivo.
Garcia pitched with four clubs since departing Seattle: White Sox (2004-06, 09-10), Philadelphia (2007), Detroit (2008) and New York (2011-12). Garcia had his best year after leaving the Mariners in 2006 when he won 17 games with the White Sox. He went 12-8 for the 2011 Yankees.
- 2012: Garcia began the season working in New Yorks rotation, went to the bullpen in May and June, and returned to the rotation last month.

- 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 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 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.
