Pitching Matchups For Series Between Seattle Mariners, Athletics
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners will look to bounce back after a disappointing road trip with a six-game homestand, beginning against the Athletics at 7:10 p.m. PT on Friday at T-Mobile Park. This weekend will be the final series of the season between the two American League West foes. The season series is tied 5-5, and the winner of the weekend's set will take the overall series season. Here's the pitching matchups for the three-game stretch between Seattle and the A's: Friday, Aug. 22 — Bryan Woo (Seattle; 10-7, 3.02 ERA) vs. Luis Morales (Athletics; 1-0, 1.86 ERA) Bryan Woo is coming off his third consecutive quality start (fourth in his last five outings). He's had at least eight strikeouts
Twins swept by Athletics, blown out in series finale
At some point in the future — likely the near future — the Twins will get their first real looks at starting pitchers Mick Abel and Taj Bradley. The results have been mixed, and were anything but pretty on Thursday when José Ureña — who threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed just two runs against the Detroit Tigers last weekend — was rocked on Thursday in the Twins' 8-3 loss to the Athletics. “I couldn't get us out,” Ureña said. The Athletics jumped all over Ureña, scoring six runs in the second inning, all with two out.
Langeliers hits a 2-run home run in the 10th inning to lift the A's past the Twins, 4-2

Langeliers hit a 401-foot shot to right-center off Génesis Cabrera (0-1) with automatic runner Nick Kurtz on second. The Athletics finished 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position.
