Mariners hope to end season-high seven-game slide

Jul 27, 2007 - 1:38 PM Oakland (49-53) at Seattle (54-46), 10:05 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) - The reeling Seattle Mariners will look to avoid their eighth consecutive setback when they host the Oakland Athletics in the second of a four-game series on Friday.

In Thursday's series opener, All-Star Dan Haren tossed seven strong innings and Nick Swisher homered from both sides of the plate as the A's posted a 6-2 win.

Seattle is mired in its longest slide since dropping 11 in a row from August 10-20 last season. The Mariners are now four games behind the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the American League West standings.

The Mariners send Felix Hernandez (6-6, 4.02 ERA) to the mound. The 21-year-old suffered his second straight setback when he surrendered six runs in six innings in an 8-0 loss at Toronto on Sunday.

Hernandez was brilliant in his last appearance against Oakland, which has managed just five hits through 16 scoreless frames off the hard-throwing righthander this season.

The Athletics counter with rookie Dallas Braden (1-5, 5.15), who is seeking his first win since April 24 at Baltimore. Last time out, Braden yielded one run in seven frames but came out on the short end of a 2-0 loss on Sunday.

Braden will be making his first career appearance against the Mariners, who have won seven of the previous 10 meetings in the series overall.
