Hernandez looks to lead Mariners to third win in a row

Jun 4, 2007 - 2:37 PM Baltimore (27-30) at Seattle (28-25) 10:05 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Felix Hernandez tries get back on track when the Seattle Mariners meet the Baltimore Orioles in the opener of a three-game series on Monday.

Since coming off the disabled list on May 15 with a strained right forearm, Hernandez (3-3, 4.10 ERA) has a 6.30 ERA in four games. The 21-year-old was 2-1 with a 1.56 ERA prior to his stint on the DL.

Hernandez was tagged for seven runs and nine hits - both season highs - in six innings of an 8-6 loss to the Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim in his last start on Thursday.

Jose Lopez and Jose Guillen each had three RBI to help rookie Ryan Feierabend earn his first major league win as Seattle came from behind to rout Texas, 11-6, on Sunday.

Baltimore's Erik Bedard (4-3, 3.67) will try to for a repeat performance when he takes the ball. On Wednesday, the lefthander tossed eight scoreless frames to beat Kansas City, 3-0.

Bedard is just 1-3 with a 5.73 ERA in four career starts against Seattle.

The Orioles are coming off their third straight defeat with Sunday's 4-3 heartbreaking setback to the Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim as Vladimir Guerrero delivered a walk-off homer.
