Mariners send Bedard against Texas

May 7, 2008 - 12:55 PM Texas (14-20) at Seattle (14-20) 10:10 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) - The Seattle Mariners need Erik Bedard to keep living up to expectations.

Bedard and the Mariners try to get back on track when they continue a four-game series with the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Bedard (2-1, 1.82 ERA), who was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles for a package of players during the offseason, allowed just three runs - one earned - and four hits in seven innings, walking one while striking out six on Friday.

Despite the strong outing, the lefthander suffered his first loss of the season, 5-1, against the New York Yankees.

Now, Seattle hopes Bedard can duplicate that performance against the Rangers and help it avoid a seventh loss in the last eight games.

Vicente Padilla (4-2, 3.50) goes for his third win in as many starts when he takes the mound for Texas on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old righthander gave up just three runs - one earned - and five hits in 5 2/3 innings, walking four while striking out six en route to a 4-3 victory against the Oakland Athletics on Friday.
