Mariners try to snap six-game skid against Rangers

Apr 23, 2007 - 1:31 PM Seattle (5-9) at Texas (8-10) 8:05 pm EDT

ARLINGTON, Texas (Ticker) - The reeling Seattle Mariners hope to avoid their seventh straight loss Monday when they face the Texas Rangers in the opener of a two-game series.

To make matters worse, the Mariners are without ace righthander Felix Hernandez for two or three starts due a strained right elbow.

Not having their ace to stop a losing streak, the Mariners turn to Cha Seung Baek (NR). The Korean righthander will be making his first start this season after pitching well late last season.

Baek went 4-1 with a 3.67 ERA in six starts last season, including two wins over the Rangers in which he allowed just two runs in 13 2/3 innings.

Texas will counter with veteran Kevin Millwood (2-2, 4.91 ERA). The righthander has gotten off to a rocky start this season, including yielding five runs in five innings to take the loss Wednesday at Chicago.

Millwood had his best start of the young season at Seattle on April 13. The 32-year-old surrendered one run in six innings to pick up the win.

The Rangers won the final two games of a three-game set against Oakland over the weekend.
