The Mariners beat the Padres, 7-0, at Petco Park yesterday, recording their second straight whitewash, and their fourth in the last 14 games overall -- second most of any MLB club since June 17 (Cubs -- 5). Seattle has never posted shutouts in three straight games.

Oakland beat Colorado, 4-1, at O.co Coliseum on Wednesday, taking two of three from the Rockies and improving to 19-13 in its last 32 games -- third best in the AL since games of May 28. The A's have allowed one or fewer runs 12 times in their last 37 contests.

The M's have defeated the A's five straight times, with four of those wins decided by a single run. Dating to May 5 last season, Seattle has won seven of its last 10 contests in Oakland.

Roenis Elias allowed a career-high seven earned runs in 3.2 innings eight days ago vs. Kansas City, taking the loss, and falling to 2-4 with a 6.21 ERA in his last six outings. Elias is 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA in two career starts vs. the A's (both at O.co Coliseum).

Scott Kazmir went 7.0 innings and allowed three runs (all earned) last Saturday vs. the Royals, and including that setback, is 2-5 with a 3.47 ERA in his last 10 starts overall. Kazmir (4-4, 3.35 ERA in 13 career starts vs. Seattle) has a 1.63 ERA at O.co Coliseum this season -- second lowest of any qualifying AL starter at home this season (Dallas Keuchel -- 1.24).

Billy Burns had a double and a triple in the same game for the first time in his career yesterday, giving him 22 multi-hit contests since being called up May 2 -- tied for second most in MLB (Jason Kipnis -- 23). Burns is 3-for-10 (all singles) in four career games vs. the M's.

It took some time, but Mike Montgomery probably couldn't have asked for a better start to his major league career with the Seattle Mariners.
After becoming the 12th rookie since 1980 to record back-to-back shutouts, Montgomery looks to continue his recent dominance Sunday against the host Oakland Athletics.

Mariners-Athletics Preview

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Seattle rookie Mike Montgomery knew instantly that his bid for a third consecutive shutout was over, even before Sam Fuld's first home run of the season cleared the fence in the third inning.
The ball didn't get out by much, landing just on the first few steps of the staircase beyond the right field wall at the Coliseum.
