Seattle beat Toronto, 2-1, in 12 innings at Safeco Field on Wednesday, salvaging one win in the three-game series, and finishing up its six-game homestand with a mark of 2-4. The Mariners are 8-7 in extra-inning affairs this season.

Minnesota lost both ends of a doubleheader to Detroit yesterday (and last night), getting swept for the second straight matchup, and for the 16th time overall in 2016 (most of any MLB club). The Twins have scored two or fewer runs in six consecutive games -- tied for the longest streak of its kind in baseball this year.

The Twins swept the Mariners in these clubs' first three-game series of the season (at Safeco Field, May 27-29) scoring at least five runs in each victory. Dating to the beginning of 2012, Seattle and Minnesota have split 14 meetings at Target Field.

James Paxton allowed just two runs (both earned) in 7.0 IP last Saturday against the Astros, but was supplied with no run support, and saw his winless streak grow to five straight games. Tonight will be Paxton's first career start vs. the Twins at Target Field.

Kyle Gibson went 5.0 innings and allowed three runs (all earned) five days ago against the Mets, taking the loss, and dropping to 1-3 with a 5.66 ERA in his last six starts. Gibson is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in two career starts vs. the Mariners at Target Field.

Jesus Sucre had three of the M's six hits in Wednesday's victory, and is now 8-for-11 (.727 BA) in three games since being recalled from Tacoma on September 2. Sucre is 3-for-10 in three career road games vs. the Twins.

HP - Layne, 1B - Wendelstedt, 2B - Basner, 3B - Gibson

MINNEAPOLIS -- While the Seattle Mariners are trying to avoid an early end to their season, the Minnesota Twins need a late-season win streak to avoid an ugly bit of franchise history.
The Mariners remain in the thick of the American League wild-card race heading into Sunday's series finale at Target Field but cannot have slip-ups like Saturday night's power outage if they are to make the postseason for the first time since 2001.

Mariners fight for playoff spot; Twins try to avoid 100th loss
