05/08/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The struggling Seattle Mariners will try to snap out of their rut tonight as they host the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the middle bout of a three-game set at Safeco Field.
After last night's 8-0 setback to the Angels, Seattle is now 0-7 on a current nine-game homestand. The Mariners have been outscored 40-9 over that span and are hitting just .169 during their longest slide since dropping 12 straight from September 11-22, 2008.
Felix Hernandez (2-3) had one of his worst starts as a professional last night, with the Mariners ace tying a career worst by allowing seven earned runs while lasting only 3 1/3 innings. He also matched a career worst by giving up three homers, all of which came in the fourth inning.
"You can look at his mechanics and they're a little bit out of whack, more than I've seen them in a long time," Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said of Hernandez. "Especially [allowing] four walks and giving up the home runs. It's just uncharacteristic. The ballgame was over pretty quick with the eight runs up, especially the way [Seattle's] offense has been going."
Hernandez now has a three-start losing streak for the first time since a four- start stretch of defeats from April 27-May 13, 2008. In total, he gave up eight runs, five hits and walked four on Friday.
The Angels, meanwhile, watched Jered Weaver toss 7 1/3 shutout innings of two- hit ball to snap a seven-game slide. Weaver (4-1) held a no-hitter for 6 2/3 frames and walked three batters while fanning seven in the win. The lanky righty saw his season earned run average dip to 2.66 while improving to 9-3 lifetime versus the Mariners.
"I wasn't really worried about it," said Weaver of the no-hit bid. "I was just trying to limit the baserunners and just stick to my game plan."
Juan Rivera, Howie Kendrick and Ryan Budde all homered off Hernandez in the fourth inning, helping the Angels avoid what would have been the first eight- game losing streak since manager Mike Scioscia took over the team in 2000. Kendry Morales added a three-run double in the top of the first.
Joe Saunders hopes to receive the same kind of support tonight as he toes the rubber seeking to end a personal three-game slide. The left-hander is also looking to rebound from his worst performance of the season, when he allowed seven earned runs over just four innings of a 17-8 loss at Boston on Monday.
In his career against Seattle, Saunders has had great success, posting a 7-1 ledger with a 3.19 ERA in 10 lifetime starts. He is also a perfect 5-0 with a 2.55 ERA in six starts at Safeco.
For the Mariners, they will send Doug Fister to the hill and hope he can add to his surprising start. Fister has allowed just two runs in 16 innings over his last two outings, but failed to earn a decision in either. On Sunday, the right-hander tossed eight scoreless innings and allowed only three hits. The Mariners, however, came up short in a 3-1 verdict against Texas.
Fister made his lone career start against the Angels last season, picking up the victory after allowing just one run over 7 1/3 innings of work.
Los Angeles went 10-9 against the Mariners last season and has won four straight and six of the last eight matchups between the clubs. These two teams split 10 meetings at Safeco Field a season ago.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
