GAME NOTES

The Mariners are in the middle of a 10-game road trip that began in Oakland. Seattle lost three of four to the Athletics, although they won the season finale 11-1 on Sunday. The Mariners are 2-9 on the road this season.

Despite being four games under .500, the Mariners have actually scored more runs (90) than they've allowed this year (85).

The Tigers have scored 84 and allowed 98, but are two games above .500.

This is Detroit's first game against an American League West opponent, and the Mariners' first against an AL Central opponent in 2017.

The Tigers went 4-3 against the Mariners in 2016.

Zimmermann is making his fourth start of the season. He got little help from his defense but still lasted six innings in his start last Wednesday at Tampa Bay.

Zimmermann didn't face the Mariners in 2016. His only career start against Seattle came in 2014 when he got the win for the Washington Nationals, allowing two runs in six innings and striking out eight.

Hernandez is making his fifth start of 2017. In 24 2/3 innings so far this year, he's allowed just one walk but he's also given up 33 hits.

Hernandez beat the Tigers in his only appearance against them in 2016, giving up just one run on three hits in seven innings on Aug. 10 at Safeco Field.

Hernandez is 9-3 with a 2.48 ERA in 15 career starts against the Tigers. He's 5-2 with a 3.06 ERA in eight starts at Comerica Park.

*Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler has faced Hernandez 97 times, far more than any any of his teammates. He's 19-for-82 (.232) with four home runs. He's struck out 13 times and walked 12 times.

Miguel Cabrera is 11-for-28 (.393) while Victor Martinez is 9-for-25 (.360) with a home run.

Nicholas Castellanos hit a solo home run off of Hernandez in 2014.
