SEATTLE -- Having already been bit by the injury bug, starting pitchers Wily Peralta of the Milwaukee Brewers and Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners head into Saturdays showdown with a little bit of momentum.Both starters recently came off the disabled list and have had some success as they try to work their way back into form.Hernandez (7-4) has gone 3-0 since coming off the disabled list on July 20, and he has had two of his stronger outings his last two times out.Peralta (5-8) was already having a pretty rough season before an oblique strain landed him on the disabled list for nearly two months. Since his return, he has been a lot more effective, holding two opponents to a combined eight hits and three runs in 12 innings.Hell have his work cut out for him against a Seattle team that piled up 11 hits on Friday night and has won 11 of its past 14 games.The Mariners hit three home runs in a game that came against a rare left-handed Milwaukee starter. Rookie southpaw Brent Suter made his major-league debut, marking the first time in 474 games -- nearly three years -- that the Brewers have started a lefty.I think its a little fluky, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Its certainly nothing to do with player development ... the intention of how we acquire players. Its just a funny statistic. Its not meant to be that way.Seattle has already used six different left-handed starters this season, as the Mariners have struggled through innjuries on their pitching staff. Denis Potvin Jersey. The Hernandez injury was the most crushing blow, but Seattle has hit its stride since he returned from the disabled list.A big part of the Mariners resurgence has been a rebuilt bullpen that includes rookie closer Edwin Diaz, whom Brewers slugger Ryan Braun said late Friday night has some of the best stuff going in the game right now. That came after a rare ninth inning of struggles for Diaz, who walked three batters and gave up a two-run single but survived for his ninth save of the season.Hes human, manager Scott Servais said. Hes not a robot. Hes not going to strike every one of them out every night throwing 100 miles per hour. We asked him tonight to go out and get three outs before they scored three runs, and he did that.The man Diaz replaced as closer, Steve Cishek, returned to the bullpen after a 2 1/2-week stint on the disabled list. It was one of several moves made by the Mariners, who also demoted first baseman Dae-Ho Lee to Triple-A Tacoma.The Brewers activated outfielder Damien Magnifico before Fridays game and brought up Suter to make his debut.Milwaukee almost pulled a memorable ninth-inning comeback but fell just short.Lets keep trying to put ourselves in that situation, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said, and one of these nights well get it done.
