(919) Seattle Mariners at (920) Minnesota Twins
#920 3% Minnesota w/ Ober -138 Seattle w/ Hancock
Ober allowed 8 runs in 1 1/3 innings in the opener so his YTD numbers are flawed. He allowed only 4 runs in his next 5 starts and while he is off his worst start since his first, allowing 4 runs in 6 innings he allowed two runs in the first and kept his team in the game as they came back to win.
Twins now on a 13-1 run.
Hancock is starting with pressure as they will soon get Woo back and will likely cost him this spot. Hancock has made 2 road starts allowing 10 runs in 9 2/3 innings. Mariners are 7-2 vs lefties since April 6th but only 1-6 on the road vs a right-handed starter as a pk/dog.
