Mariners hope to end scoreless skid vs. White Sox

May 9, 2008 - 1:58 PM Chi White Sox (16-17) at Seattle (14-22) 10:10 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The offensively-inept Seattle Mariners will look to avoid a fouth consecutive defeat Friday when they host the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a three-game series.

The Mariners have failed to score a run over the previous 22 innings and managed just one run over the last 32 frames.

Seattle's offensive woes boiled over in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Texas Rangers as first baseman Richie Sexson charged the mound and caused a bench-clearing brawl. Sexson threw his helmet at the opposing pitcher Kason Gabbard and a suspension is likely coming.

The White Sox have also been struggling recently, but came away with a 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Jermaine Dye and Juan Uribe each homered in that comeback win for Chicago, which has still lost seven of its previous nine games.

Dye, who has six blasts on the season, has homered in each of the last three contests.

Chicago will send righthander Jose Contreras (2-3, 4.08 ERA) to the mound. The 36-year-old Cuban tossed eight innings, allowing four runs and six hits with five strikeouts in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Mariners will counter with Carlos Silva (3-1, 4.20), who was roughed up in his last outing - an 8-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday. The Venezuelan righthander was tagged for eight runs and 11 hits with a strikeout over just three innings, raising his ERA from 2.79.
