Tonight at 8:10 CST on Fox Sports Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Brewers (50-66) visit Safeco Field to take on the Seattle Mariners (53-62). This is the second of three meetings between the teams this season. Milwaukee came away with a 10-5 win last night. Yuniesky Betancourt hit a grand slam in the 5th inning to run the Brewers' lead to 10-2 and blow the lead open. Kyle Lohse picked up the win after going 7 innings of 6 hit ball with 3 earned runs. Tom Gorzelanny is the starting pitcher for Milwaukee tonight. He will be starting for the first time since being hit on the forearm by a line drive last Friday. He left the game after being injured. Shortstop Jean Segura leads the team in batting average with a .313 average. Outfielder Carlos Gomez has 18 home runs to lead the team, and catcher Jonathan Lucroy has 60 RBI, tops on the club. Seattle had their one game winning streak snapped last night with the loss. First baseman Justin Smoak hit a two run home run in the 8th inning last night, the only long ball of the night for Seattle. Smoak also led the team in total bases with four. He also is riding a 9 game hitting streak. Hisashi Iwakuma is the starter for the Mariners tonight. He has a record of 10-5 with an ERA of 2.75. Iwakuma is 5-2 on the season at home. Outfielder Carlos Peguero leads the team with a .333 batting average, but he only has 6 at bats. Catcher Humberto Quintero has a batting average of .320, but he has just 25 plate appearances. Infielder Kendrys Morales has a batting average of .297, and he has 431 at bats, second on the team. Outfielder Raul Ibanez has 24 home runs to lead the team, and Morales has 64 RBI to pace Seattle. This should be an entertaining pitching matchup, but look for the offense to provide just enough run support for Gorzelanny in a series-clinching win.
