#97: Even With 32 Whiffs, Mariners Can Win Series

GAME: Mariners (41-55, 4th, AL West, – 16.5 GB) at Rays (49-46, 3rd, AL East, – 8.5 GB). GAME #: 97. SERIES: 3rd of 3 games. MEETING: 7th (Rays lead 5-1). WHEN: Sunday, 10:40 a.m., Tropicana Field. PROBABLE PITCHERS: RHP Blake Beavan (Seattle, 4-6, 6.06) vs. LHP Matt Moore (Tampa Bay, 6-6, 4.39). STREAKS: Mariners W 1; Rays L 1. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.

The Mariners, who exhausted their bullpen to such an extent Friday that they had catcher Miguel Olivo warming up in the 14th inning, used three more relievers Saturday to finish off a 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay, the Mariners’ first in six tries against the Rays this season.

The bullpen could use some help Sunday from starter Blake Beavan, who makes his second start since being recalled from AAA Tacoma. Beavan collected a win Thursday at Kansas City despite allowing five earned runs in six innings.

“I’ve only had one start since I’ve been back, so haven’t had a chance to really get it going yet,” Beavan said Saturday. “My last start was pretty late notice, so I was just trying to go after them. I learned some things from that start, things I could have done a little better in the third inning (when he gave up three runs).

“I need to mix my pitches up a little better. I need to start throwing my change-up more. It’s a good pitch for me. So that’s something I’ll focus on, just take it from what I was doing down there (Tacoma) and working it up here.”

Beavan will face Matt Moore, who beat the Mariners May 1, holding them to one earned run in five innings while recording seven strikeouts.

Speaking of which, the Mariners fanned 32 times in the first two games of the series after whiffing 34 times in four games at Kansas City. When the Mariners played at Tropicana Field May 1-3, they got punched out 38 times, most in a three-game series this season.

A closer look at Beavan and Moore:

MARINERS: RHP Blake Beavan (4-6, 6.06 ERA, 1.39 WHIP)

The 23-year-old Beavan, in his second major league season and second with the Mariners, will be making his 14th start overall and his second against the Rays. Beavan sustained a 5-4 loss at Tampa Bay May 2 and is coming off a 9-6 win over the Kansas City Royals July 17.

A native of Irving, TX., the 6-7, 240-pound Beavan was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the first round (17th pick) of the 2007 amateur draft.

After pitching in the minor leagues from 2008-11, Beavan made his major league debut July 3 against the San Diego Padres. He worked 7 IP, allowed three hits, two walks and one earned run in a 3-1 victory at Safeco Field.

• 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.

• 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.
