The Seattle Mariners are riding high after their combined no-hitter on Friday night against the Dodgers, which was truly a night to remember at Safeco Field. This is a club that has been playing well in recent weeks, and it's wins over teams like the Dodgers that can really propel a team to make a run in the standings.
The task on Saturday evening will not be an easy one for Seattle. They will face L.A. ace Clayton Kershaw, who can be downright filthy on the mound. The M's will go with Jason Vargas to counter Kershaw on the mound.
Here are the lineups for both clubs:
Mariners:
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Chone Figgins LF
Jesus Montero DH
Justin Smoak 1B
Kyle Seager 2B
Miguel Olivo C
Michael Saunders CF
Alex Liddi 3B
Brendan Ryan SS
Jason Vargas P
Dodgers:
Dee Gordon SS
Jonathan Herrera 3B
Juan Rivera LF
Andre Ethier DH
Jerry Hairston Jr. 2B
James Loney 1B
A.J. Ellis C
Tony Gwynn Jr. CF

Clayton Kershaw P
First pitch from Safeco is set for 7:05 p.m. this evening.
