Next
Scott Baker will try to continue his success against the Mariners as he faces left-hander Jarrod Washburn for his second consecutive start in a row. Hopefully Baker's rematch won't result in the same way as Matt Garza's on Monday. In Baker's last start, he gave up just one run (a home run) in 6 2/3 innings against the Mariners. Washburn gave up 2 runs over 7 innings but still lost his 10th game of the year.
