Mariners look to sweep Athletics

Apr 4, 2007 - 2:51 PM Oakland (0-2) at Seattle (2-0) 10:05 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The Seattle Mariners won just two games against the Oakland Athletics last season. They can eclipse that mark in just the third game of the season with a win on Wednesday.

After a 2-17 mark against the Athletics last season, the Mariners have taken the first two games of this three-game set by a combined 12-4.

Leading the way for the Mariners has been slugger Richie Sexson, who has homered in each of the first two games. Ichiro Suzuki also has three hits, two runs scored and a pair of RBI.

The Mariners sent Miguel Batista to the mound.

Batista is making his debut with the Mariners after signing a three-year, $24 million contract in the offseason. The righthander went 11-8 with a 4.58 ERA in 33 starts for Arizona last season.

Batista is 2-2 with a 5.72 ERA in 13 games - six starts - against Oakland.

Looking to break into the win column, the Athletics sent oft-injured righthander Rich Harden to the mound.

Harden made just nine starts last season, posting a 4-0 record with a 4.24 ERA. He is 4-1 with a 1.49 ERA in six career starts against Seattle.
