Santana, Hernandez on mound as Twins face Mariners

Aug 13, 2007 - 2:01 PM Minnesota (58-59) at Seattle (65-50) 10:05 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) - A pair of aces will be on the mound Monday when the Minnesota Twins face the Seattle Mariners in the opener of a three-game series.

Minnesota sends reigning Cy Young Award winner Santana (12-9, 2.98 ERA) to the mound. The lefthander snapped a personal three-game losing streak in his last outing, when he limited Kansas City to two runs over six innings.

Santana, who is trying to avoid his first double-digit losing season, will be looking for some offensive support. Minnesota has been held to three runs or less in 10 of 11 games this month.

Santana is 7-1 with a 2.83 ERA lifetime against the Mariners. Fellow Venezuelan Felix Hernandez (8-6, 3.97) get the start for the Mariners. The 21-year-old righthander has won his last two starts despite allowing eight runs in 14 2/3 innings.

Hernandez is 2-2 with a 2.67 ERA lifetime against the Twins.

Seattle enters playing well, having gone 11-4 in its last 15 games.
