GAME: Mariners (35-49, 4th, AL West, – 16.0 GB) at Athletics (41-42, 3rd, AL West, – 9.5 GB). GAME #: 85. SERIES: 1st of 3 games. MEETING: 11th (Mariners lead 6-4). WHEN: Friday, 7:07, Oakland Coliseum. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Kevin Millwood (Seattle, 3-6, 4.00) vs. Tommy Milone (Oakland, 8-6, 3.73). STREAKS: Mariners L 2; Athletics W 4. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.
In a season quickly circling the drain, the Mariners have three games remaining before they take four days off to accommodate the MLB All-Star break. If the Mariners had to choose where to play those three, they couldn’t ask for a better — at least this season — venue than Oakland.
Seattle opened the 2012 season by splitting a pair against the Athletics in Tokyo. The Mariners then resumed spring training and got back to regular-season business April 6 at the Oakland Coliseum. In two games, the Mariners scored what now seems a shocking 15 runs, winning 7-3 and 8-7.
Kevin Millwood, who missed his last start after tweaking a groin injury, gets the call for Seattle Friday. He’ll oppose Tommy Milone, who beat the Mariners 1-0 the last time he saw them June 25. A closer look:
MARINERS: RHP Kevin Millwood (3-6, 4.00 ERA, 1.35 WHIP)
In his 16th major league season and first with the Mariners, Millwood is making his 16th start and second against the Athletics. Millwood missed his last turn in the rotation after re-tweaking a groin injury in a start against the Athletics June 27.
A native of Gastonia, NC., the 6-4, 230-pound Millwood was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 11th round of the 1993 amateur draft.
Millwood made his major league debut July 14, 1997, winning in relief for the Braves against Philadelphia. During his career, Millwood pitched for the Braves (1997-02), Philadelphia (2003-04), Cleveland (2005), Texas (2006-09), Baltimore (2010) and Colorado (2011) before joining the Mariners.
Millwood twice won 18 games in a season, going 18-7 for the 1999 Braves and 18-8 for the 2002 Braves. Millwood led the National League in starts with 35 in 2000, led the NL in shutouts in 2003 with three, led the American League in ERA in 2005 at 2.86, and the AL in losses in 2010 with 16.
Millwood represented Atlanta in the 1999 All-Star Game.
During his American League career, Millwood made 24 starts against the Mariners, posting an 8-13 record with a 4.91 ERA.
Millwood signed with the Mariners Jan. 24 as a free agent, and earned the fifth spot in the rotation with a strong performance during spring training.
Millwood has a career record of 166-146, 4.10 ERA.

A native of Sagus, CA., the 6-0, 205-pound Milone pitched for the University of Southern California, finishing his career with 45 starts, placing him ninth on USCs all-time list in a tie with Sid Akins (1982-84).

Milone made his debut with the Nationals Sept. 3, 2011, working 4.1 innings as Washingtons starter in what became an 8-7 victory over the New York Mets. Milone, who allowed four runs on six hits, received a no-decision.
Milone appeared in five games (1-0, 3.81 ERA). On Dec. 23, 2011, the Nationals traded Milone, along with A.J. Cole (minors), Derek Norris (minors) and Brad Peacock, to the Athletics for Robert Gilliam (minors) and Gio Gonzalez.

- MARINERS VS. ATHLETICS: Mariners are 217-292 all-time vs. the Athletics, including 92-163 at Oakland Coliseum.

- LOG: Mariners Thursday demoted RHP Hector Noesi to AAA Tacoma after a string of abysmal starts and recalled OF Carlos Peguero from the Rainiers. Peguero, batting .293 in Tacoma with 18 home runs (third in the PCL), joins the Mariners Friday in Oakland. Noesi goes to Tacoma as the leading loser in the majors with 11 defeats. Noesi is the first Mariner pitcher to lose so many before the All-Star break since Carlos Silva went 4-11 in 2008. Wednesday marked the fourth straight start with Noesi giving up at least seven hits, and he has not left a game with the lead since May 17 against Cleveland. Noesi, who has lost each of his last eight decisions, has not won since May 6. Noesi has already allowed 20 home runs . . . On the other hand, the Mariners have provided Noesi with just one run of support in his last five starts . . . Seattle went 4-6 on the 10-game home stand and are 16-25 at Safeco Field this season, worst home mark in the majors . . . Infielder Mike Carp, on the DL since June 11 with inflammation in his right shoulder, began a rehab assignment with Tacoma Wednesday. . . Mariners reached July 4 16.0 games out of first place, the third-worst July 4 deficit in franchise history. The 1988 Mariners were 20.5 games out on July 4 that year and the 2008 Mariners 18.0 games in arrears. In all, 12 Mariners teams have trailed by double figures on July 4, including the 1977 expansion club, 12.5 out . . . Manager Eric Wedge said it’s unlikely Franklin Gutierrez, on the seven-day disabled list, will return before the All-Star break.

- 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.
