| === Seattle Mariners Team Report - August 29 === (MySportsbook) - The reeling Mariners will try to put an end to their two- game losing streak tonight, when they take on the Baltimore Orioles in the first of a three-contest set at Safeco Field. Seattle has dropped eight of its last nine contests, including Thursday's 3-2 defeat to Tampa Bay. The Mariners have slipped two games behind first place Oakland in the West and now trail Boston by a half-game for the wild card. Shigetoshi Hasegawa (1-1) surrendered th |

He showed no signs of rust, scattering three hits over seven scoreless innings. He also struck out five and improved to 4-1 on the season, while lowering his earned run average to 3.62.

Bill Mueller has 16 homers, giving the Red Sox a chance to have seven different players connect for at least 20 homers. That would tie a major league record, shared by the 1996 Baltimore Orioles and the 2000 Toronto Blue Jays. LEFTHANDERS LEFT OUT - The last Montreal left-handed starter to earn a win was Matt Blank, June 21, 2001, in a 10-3 victory over the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. Blank's win came 385 games ago. |

The 20-year-old hurler allowed a pair of runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings, but did not factor in the decision of his team's 5-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Tampa has won four of the six games Gaudin has appeared in this season. His lone win came in a relief appearance against the Kansas City Royals back on August 7. Gaudin, who is 1-0 on the year with a 3.60 ERA, has never faced the Mariners. |

| (MySportsbook) - You will be hard-pressed to find a better pitcher in the American League over the past two months than New York lefthander Andy Pettitte. The 31-year-old veteran picked up his 11th win in 12 decisions on Monday, as he limited the Baltimore Orioles to one run over 6 2/3 innings. It marked his third straight win and upped his record to 16-7 on the season. With a possible six starts the rest of the way, the hurler could have a shot at the second 20- win campaign of his career. "I won't even think of that," said Pettitte, who won 21 games for the Yankees during their 1996 World Championship season "With as many starts as I have left, I don't think it's realistic because you do get no-decisions and I've been getting a lot of decisions lately. There's always a chance, but it won't enter my mind until I'm at 19 with a start left." The victory also improved him to 18-4 lifetime against Baltimore, moving him past Don Larsen for the best winning percentage (.818) by a Yankee versus the Orioles. "I don't know what it is, but I pitch well against everybody in our division," said Pettitte. "This year against [the Orioles] I have pitched two good games and two mediocre games. But I've been able to win all of them." Pettitte, who became the first pitcher since Hall of Famer Stan Covaleski (1916-26) to post at least a dozen victories in each of his first nine years, endured a stretch earlier in the season that saw him go 1-5 in seven starts from the beginning of May to mid-June. Since then, though, he has been lights out with his only setback coming in a hard-luck, complete-game 2-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners, who reached the Louisiana native for just five hits. A shot at a first Cy Young Award is not out of the question either as the AL is loaded with pitchers who are having good seasons, but none that really stand out. Chicago's Esteban Loaiza (16-6, 2.61) has been a nice story and will pitch against the Yankees on Tuesday. Toronto's Roy Halladay leads the AL in wins with 17, but has struggled of late. Oakland's Mark Mulder (15-9, 3.13) was having a great season, but a stress fracture in his hip could sideline him the rest of the year. Pedro Martinez (10-3, 2.29) is always brilliant, but does not have the wins thanks to Boston's bullpen problems earlier in the year. Besides Loaiza, Pettitte's stiffest competition could come from teammate Mike Mussina, who has been making somewhat of a late-season charge himself. The "Moose" (14-7, 3.18) has won four of his last five decisions, while sitting atop the AL in strikeouts with teammate Roger Clemens at 164. Pettitte's timing could not be any better as he is ready to test the free agent waters following the season. Always clutch in the postseason, he will likely command at least $15 million a year on the open market with the asking price getting higher and higher with each impressive performance. END OF THE ROAD FOR OROSCO It looks as if the ageless Jesse Orosco's tenure in pinstripes, and perhaps his career, could come to an end on Tuesday. With New York set to activate lefthander Gabe White from the 15-day disabled list and Monday's acquisition of fellow lefty Felix Heredia, Orosco will likely be released. In addition to that move, the Yanks will probably ship struggling righthander Jeff Weaver to Triple-A Columbus. Weaver, who has an option remaining, came out of the pen on Monday and allowed a home run to Larry Bigbie before exiting to a loud chorus of boos. WHO'S HOT Alfonso Soriano finished 4-for-5 on Monday and belted his team-record 10th leadoff homer of the season. Over his last eight games, he is 13-for-33 with three homers and eight RBI to raise his average to .282. Despite an 0-for-4 performance on Monday, catcher Jorge Posada has been hitting everything in sight. He is 24-for-his-last-57 with five homers. WHO'S NOT Hideki Matsui is just 3-for-23 over his last six games. Matsui, though, leads all major league rookies with 90 RBI, the highest single-season total by a Yankees' rookie since Tom Tresh had 93 in 1962. COMING UP The Yankees will start a three-game series with the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday before heading to Fenway Park for a Labor Day weekend set against the hated Boston Red Sox. |
