Twins 7 - 3 Mariners
Final
  for this game

Ibanez, Mariners hope to keep rolling vs. Twins

Aug 6, 2008 - 10:13 AM Minnesota (62-51) at Seattle (44-69), 4:40 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Raul Ibanez must not want this series to end.

Ibanez will look to continue his recent success when the Seattle Mariners go for their fourth straight win, hosting the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old Ibanez homered and drove in five runs as the Mariners posted a wild 8-7 victory over Twins on Tuesday.

Ibanez, who has 11 RBI in the first two games of the series, belted a three-run shot - his 17th home run - in the third inning and added a two-run single in the sixth.

Jason Kubel blasted a pair of home runs for the Twins, who sit one game behind the division-leading Chicago White Sox (62-49) in the American League Central.

Minnesota will send rookie righthander Nick Blackburn (8-6, 3.56 ERA) to the mound. He allowed one run and six hits over seven innings during Friday's 4-1 triumph over the Cleveland Indians.

Seattle will counter with lefthander Jarrod Washburn (5-10, 4.77), who has lost three of his last four decisions.
