AL: BALTIMORE (41-50) at SEATTLE (51-38) <h3>Mariners host Orioles, look to continue winning ways</h3> <div class="pre">Baltimore (41-50) at Seattle (51-38) 10:05 pm EDT</div> SEATTLE (Ticker) - One of this season's surprise teams, theSeattle Mariners look to continue their recent run of successMonday when they face the Baltimore Orioles. Though the Mariners dropped Sunday's series finale against theDetroit Tigers, the team is 16-6 over its last 22 games and haswon 25 of 38 overall. Seattle starter Horacio Ramirez (4-2, 6.47 ERA) will take themound for the first time since going on the disabled list withshoulder tendinitis on May 25. In eight starts this season, thelefthander has allowed six or more runs three times. Brian Burres (4-3, 4.19) gets the start for the Orioles, whohave won three straight. The lefthander, who also has pitchedout of the Baltimore bullpen this year, is making his firststart since being thumped by the Chicago White Sox on July 5. Burres allowed seven runs and six hits - two home runs - in just1 1/3 innings during the 9-7 loss to Chicago. Seattle leadoff man Ichiro Suzuki left Sunday's game against theTigers after being hit in the right leg by a pitch from JustinVerlander. The reigning All-Star Game MVP is listed as day-to-dayand his status for Monday is uncertain.
