Bedard returns for struggling Mariners

Apr 26, 2008 - 1:53 PM Oakland (15-9) at Seattle (11-13) 9:10 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) - The Seattle Mariners will welcome back ace Erik Bedard when they host the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.

The Mariners paid a steep price to acquire Bedard from the Baltimore Orioles in the offseason, assuming the ace lefthander was the missing piece that would help them vault to the top of the American League West standing.

Nearly one month into the season, Bedard has made just two starts due to a balky left hip, and the Seattle is struggling two games below .500.

Bedard (1-0, 3.27 ERA) has not made a start since earning a win April 8 at Tampa Bay when he allowed five runs - three earned - and five hits in six innings while walking four and striking out five.

The A's will welcome Justin Duchscherer (1-0, 1.80) back to the rotation on Saturday.

The righthander has been out since April 4 with a strained right biceps but was strong in his lone start this season, surrendering one run and four hits in five innings to earn a win against Cleveland.
