Baltimore Orioles Vs Seattle Mariners Live Streaming Major League Baseball Online Radio COmmentary Review Espn 5/30. Even with the two stars at the top of their lineup struggling, the Seattle Mariners continue to play with confidence. They have a good chance to continue their recent success with the Baltimore Orioles in town.
The Mariners look to hand Jake Arrieta his first road defeat while trying for a fourth consecutive home win over the Orioles on Monday.
Despite a 7-1 loss to New York on Sunday, Seattle (26-26) took two of three from the Yankees and has won nine of 11 overall.
"Everybody's excited to show up every day to play," first baseman Justin Smoak told the Mariners' official website. "We have that mentality of knowing that we're going to win before we step on the field."
The Mariners have done it while Ichiro Suzuki and Chone Figgins have combined to go hitless in their last 30 at-bats. Suzuki is batting .164 his last 14 games, and Figgins .193 overall with an on-base percentage of .235.
"We just have to work and try to help them work through this," manager Eric Wedge said.
Figgins has hit .154 his last 13 games versus Baltimore, but Suzuki is a lifetime .348 hitter with five homers and 20 RBIs against the Orioles at home. Suzuki, though, is on pace to have the worst month of his career, entering this game batting .204 (20 for 98) in May.
Though the Mariners were swept in a three-game set at Baltimore from May 10-12, they have won six of eight against the Orioles at Safeco Field.
Adam Kennedy's two-run homer and three other hits were all the Mariners could muster in six innings against Arrieta (6-2, 4.57 ERA) in a 7-6, 13-inning loss at Baltimore on May 10.
Making his first start at Safeco, Arrieta has posted three straight wins on the road, where he is 3-0 with a 3.38 ERA in four starts.
After giving up six runs in 3 2/3 innings of a 17-5 loss to Washington on May 20, Arrieta allowed a two-run homer in six innings of a 9-2 home win over Kansas City on Wednesday.
"He's only had a couple bad outings where he didn't give us a good chance to win," manager Buck Showalter said.
The right-hander will try to help the Orioles (24-27) get back on track after they followed a five-game winning streak by losing three straight in Oakland. The Orioles totaled just eight runs, 19 hits and hit into seven double plays over the weekend.
Despite his team's struggles, Vladimir Guerrero has hit .361 with nine RBIs during a 14-game hitting streak.
The Orioles hope to have center fielder and former Mariner Adam Jones in the lineup after he left Sunday's game with a sore shoulder.
"If I feel good in the morning, I don't see them holding me back," said Jones, who has a team-leading 29 RBIs and was 8 for 14 with five RBIs against the Mariners this month.
Jones and Guerrero are a combined 5 for 16 against scheduled Seattle starter Doug Fister (2-5, 3.18), who is looking for his first win in exactly one month.
Fister allowed four runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings of a 4-2 loss at Minnesota on Tuesday to fall to 0-2 with a 3.81 ERA in four starts since he beat Boston on April 30. Fister's teammates have scored five runs in his five defeats.
The right-hander is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts against Baltimore. The victory came at Safeco on April 19, 2010, when he allowed a run and three hits in seven innings of an 8-2 win.
