SEATTLE -- In a division rivalry that has been one-sided but has featured plenty of offense from both teams, Texas Rangers starter Martin Perez did the unthinkable against Seattle last Wednesday.The 25-year-old left-hander actually kept the Mariners off the scoreboard.That has been a rarity when the teams have played this season, and Perez and the Rangers will get another shot at Seattle on Tuesday night.Texas (82-56) owns an 11-5 record against the Mariners this season but has allowed seven or more runs in six of those games. The latest came Monday afternoon, when Seattle posted five first-inning runs and two more in the second against Rangers starter Cole Hamels on the way to a 14-6 win.It marked the second consecutive start for Hamels against Seattle, and he allowed 14 hits and 13 runs in six innings over those two outings. While Hamels had some blister issues in recent starts, manager Jeff Banister said health was not an issue in his recent struggles.As Hamels said: Its just a matter of not executing pitches. ... I feel good. Its just, unfortunately, Im not doing what I know Im capable of doing.Sandwiched between the Hamels starts was Perezs six innings of shutout ball. It was an outlier not only in this rivalry but also for Perez, who had allowed six earned runs in each of his previous two starts. He is 9-10 with a 4.30 ERA on the season.Silencing the Seattle bats for a second start in a row might be a tough task. The Mariners (70-67) rank third in the American League in home runs with 186, one more than the Rangers have hit. Seattle piled up 14 hits Monday, getting huge contributions from right-handed platoon players Franklin Gutierrez (3-for-4, four RBI) and Dae-Ho Lee (2-for-5, three RBI).Its not a secret that were not having the best record against left-handed pitching, Gutierrez said after the win. Its important for us to do our job, get on base and play our game.Gutierrez and Lee are likely to be in the lineup again Tuesday, as the Rangers will throw another southpaw at the Mariners. The last three times Seattle faced a left-handed Texas starter, the Mariners scored a total of 25 runs.The offensive outburst Monday came a little too late for the Mariners to get back into the AL West race, as their final glimmer of hope was extinguished last week when they were swept in Texas.Seattle is still within five games of the ALs second wild-card spot, but there are plenty of teams in the mix. It might take a minor miracle for the Mariners to overtake the Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Houston Astros and New York Yankees in that crowded race.Were going to fight until the end and see what happens after the last game, Gutierrez said.Seattle will send left-hander James Paxton (4-5, 3.83 ERA) to the mound Tuesday. Paxton came out of his last start with a torn fingernail, so the Mariners gave him an extra day between starts to get healthy.Paxton has already made two starts against the Rangers this season, going 0-0 with a 3.18 ERA.
