Mariners host Pirates, look to end skid

Jun 19, 2007 - 1:22 PM Pittsburgh (30-39) at Seattle (35-31) 10:05 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The Seattle Mariners will try to get back on track when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opener of a three-game interleague series on Tuesday.

Miguel Batista (7-5, 5.10 ERA) will take the mound for the Mariners, who have dropped five straight contests after winning nine of 10 games.

Batista allowed three runs - one earned - in seven innings when the Mariners began their current losing streak with a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.

Pittsburgh counters with Tom Gorzelanny (6-4, 3.04), who has shown the ability to go deep into games. The lefthander has pitch five or more innings in each of his 14 starts this year and pitched seven or more innings seven times.

Gorzelanny has pitched well overall but is struggling this month with an 0-1 record and 5.40 ERA in three starts.

This will be the Pirates first trip to Seattle. The only meeting between the teams occurred in 2004, when Seattle swept a three-game series in Pittsburgh.
