导出博客文章CHICAGO -- The Seattle Mariners have not been to Wrigley Field in nearly a
decade, but manager Scott Servais knows enough about the idiosyncrasies of the
park and daytime baseball to give his team enough direction.After an ugly 12-1
loss Friday, the Mariners hope Servais knowledge translates into a win Saturday
afternoon.Servais played for the Cubs from 1995-98 mostly sub-par years for
Chicago except for a 1998 postseason appearance.I played here for three and a
half years, Servais said. It was really the first time in my career I had the
chance to play every day, probably because they didnt have anybody else when
they traded for me.His best season with Chicago was in 1996 when he hit .265
with 11 home runs and 63 RBI over 129 games.This weekend is only Seattles second
all-time and the Mariners have lost three of four meetings in Chicago. The Cubs
took two of three from the Mariners in their last visit to Chicago from June
12-14, 2007.Servais will be giving a crash course in both Wrigley Field culture
and big league baseball to the newest Mariner -- 25-year-old Cuban prospect
Guillermo Heredia who was called upon Friday from Triple-A Tacoma.We want to get
him comfortable, Servais said. Hes a guy who can come in and defend late in the
game, pinch hit, pinch run, do those type of things. We will get him some starts
eventually.Heredia did make his major league debut following Fridays 74-minute
rain delay, settling in in right field in the bottom of the seventh. He also was
0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance.Heredia was pleased to get his first big
league opportunity after spending 84 games between Double-A Jackson and Triple-A
Tacoma.The biggest adjustment is the pitching, he said through a translator.
Obviously its different than Cuba. Here they focus more on fastball, (and the)
changeup. Thats the biggest thing.Heredia signed with the Mariners as a
non-drafted free agent on March 1 after hitting .285 with 231 runs, 57 doubles,
15 triples, 23 home runs and 121 RBI in 374 career games in Cubas Serie
Nacional.The Mariners will be hoping their bats can perform better than Friday
and Wade Miley lasts longer than Hisashi Iwakauma. Iwakuma only lasted three
innings and the Mariners will look for some distance from Miley, who has dropped
six straight starts.Miley has a 5.13 ERA since his last win on June 7 against
Cleveland but the Mariners have only scored six runs for him. Miley last pitched
Sunday in Toronto when he allowed two runs and four hits in six innings of a 2-0
loss.Miley will be facing Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, who is 3-4 since his no-hitter
on May 16. Arrieta, the 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner, has struggled since he
completed a run of 20 consecutive victories including a no-hitter on May 16.He
has gone 3-4 since and the Cubs are 0-4 in his last four starts while Arrieta
has a 5.55 ERA in those games.Seattle batters dont see Arrieta on anything
approaching a regular basis although the Cubs right-hander has had two previous
outings against Seattle.He is 0-1 with a 4.63 ERA in three career starts against
the Mariners but hasnt faced them since 2012 while with the Baltimore Orioles.In
his last outing, Arrieta allowed four runs on five hits over six innings against
the White Sox. Three of those runs occurred when he allowed a home run to Todd
Frazier.Jake was really good except for the one pitch, Cubs manager Joe Maddon
said. (The) three-run homer definitely did hurt us right there.The Cubs have won
three straight and will be hoping to give Arrieta similar support as Jon Lester
had Friday. Lester had a five-run lead through three innings as David Ross and
Jason Heyward homered.Up and down the lineup it was a well-played game, Maddon
said. We pitched well, we played well, we did everything well. After a really
hard-fought series with the White Sox it was really nice to play a game like
that.
