Weaver looks for fourth straight win vs. Mariners, Hernandez

May 30, 2007 - 3:16 PM Seattle (25-23) at LA Angels (32-21) 10:05 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- Two of the game's brightest young pitchers face off in series finale between the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.

Jered Weaver takes on the 21-year-old Felix Hernandez (3-2, 2.87) as the Angels look for their ninth win in the last 10 meetings between the teams in Anaheim.

The 24-year-old Weaver (4-3, 3.68 ERA) is trying for his fourth straight win, the most since he won his first seven decisions to start his major league career last season. In his last time out, the righthander allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings of a 10-6 win over the New York Yankees on Friday.

Meanwhile, Hernandez will be looking to just stay healthy. In his third start since coming off the disabled list on May 15 because of a strained right forearm, Hernandez was forced to leave early due to back stiffness. However, manager Mike Hargrove said it was for precautionary reasons.

In that game against Kansas City on Friday, the phenom allowed two runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings - his longest starts since being activated from the DL.

Ichiro Suzuki carries a 22-game hitting streak in the contest - one shy of his career best set during his rookie season of 2001. It is also two away from tying Joey Cora's franchise mark set in 1997.

Seattle, which had scored 50 runs in its previous five games, mustered just one on Tuesday, as its four-game winning streak was snapped in a 4-1 loss.

Ervin Santana threw seven strong innings for the Angels on Tuesday, allowing a run and four hits.
