Today's Target: Darrell Rasner

Vitals: 26 yo RHP. Born in Carson City, NV . 6-3, 210. 3-3, 4.10 career. 0-1, 3.86 in 2007. $384,523 salary.

Arsenal: A high 80s fastball, a mid 80s change, and a big 12-6 curveball he throws in the low 70s. Very hittable stuff.

Recent Battles: Rasner has never faced the Mariners.

Our Best Weapon: Nobody on the M's has faced Rasner, but Ibanez and Ichiro would seem to be the most likely guys to hit him well--he's struggled this year against lefties.

The Internet Says: Rasner was the University of Nevada's all-time leader in wins, innings pitched and strikeouts until this year, when senior Ryan Rodriguez passed him.

Jarrod Washburn (2-2, 2.88) goes for the M's. Gametime is 10:05.
