GAME: Angels (89-71, 3rd, AL West, – 4.0 GB) at Mariners (73-87, 4th, AL West, – 20.0 GB). GAME #: 161. SERIES: 2nd of 3 games. MEETING: 18th (Angels lead 11-6). WHEN: Tuesday, 7:10 p.m., Safeco Field, Seattle, WA. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Dan Haren (Los Angeles, 12-11, 4.35) vs.RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (Seattle, 8-5, 3.32). STREAKS: Mariners L 4; Angels W 1. TV: Root Sports. RADIO: ESPN 710, Mariners Radio Network
Despite hammering Felix Hernandez and the Mariners 8-4 Monday night, the Los Angeles Angels will not participate in the postseason. Although the Angels officially lost their chance when Oakland defeated Texas Monday, their situation might have been different if they had been able to solve Hisashi Iwakuma.
While the Angels pretty much had their way with Seattle this season, they had no luck at all when facing the 31-year-old from Japan. Iwakuma has gone 3-0, 1.54 ERA against the Angels this season and gets another crack at them Tuesday in the second game of the season-ending, three-game series.
Iwakuma will match pitches with Dan Haren, historically tough on Seattle but a 9-4 loser in his last start against the Mariners. A closer look:
MARINERS: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (8-5, 3.32 ERA, 1.28 WHIP)
The 31-year-old Iwakuma, in his first major league season, makes his 16th start and fourth against the Angels (he also made a relief appearance June 5). Iwakuma, who started the season as a reliever and then stretched out to become a starter during a minor league assignment, defeated the Angels 7-4 Aug. 11, beat them again 2-1 Sept. 2, and again 9-4 Sept. 27 in Anaheim. That was his last start and Tuesday will be his last start of the season.
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 Olympics and in the 2009 World Baseball Classic, where he won a gold medal.
Iwakuma has pitched at least 5.0 innings in all nine of his starts and has worked at least 7.0 in two of his past three. He also has two saves, May 30 at Texas and June 2 at Chicago.
Iwakuma continues to allow plenty of baserunners, but is proving to be a master at getting out of jams. The Mariners have won four of the right-handers past six starts.
