AL: SEATTLE (45-35) at KANSAS CITY (36-48) <h3>Mariners look to bounce back from Tuesday's thrashing</h3> Seattle (45-35) at Kansas City (36-48), 8:10 pm EDT KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- The Seattle Mariners are offto a rocky start in the post-Mike Hargrove era. The Mariners will look to bounce from an embarrassing defeat onWednesday when they visit the Kansas City Royals in the finaleof their three-game series. Since the resignation of manager Mike Hargrove on Sunday,Seattle has dropped two straight - including a 17-3 drubbing onTuesday - and are in danger of being swept by the lowly Royals. Jarrod Washburn (7-6, 4.03 ERA) will be trying to betterteammate Ryan Feierabend, who allowed 10 runs in 1 1/3 inningson Tuesday. Washburn is unlikely to suffer the same fate,having yielded just three runs over his last 14 innings pitched- spanning two starts. The veteran lefthander is 7-4 with a 3.70 ERA in 13 careerstarts against Kansas City, including a win on May 27 in whichhe lasted seven innings while surrendering three runs here. The Royals will counter with rookie Brian Bannister (5-4, 3.58).The 26-year-old righthander suffered a loss against theMariners on May 26, allowing four runs and eight hits over sevenframes. Seattle will be trying to get interim manager John McLaren hisfirst win.
