Rangers-Mariners preview (Yahoo Sports)

At about 10:15 p.m. Pacific time Tuesday, the retractable roof at Safeco Field made its methodical closure while the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers played the eighth inning of another high-scoring baseball game. It seemed like the only way to contain the Rangers' unlimited offense. Texas and its loaded lineup will try to provide some more fireworks against the Mariners on Wednesday night, when struggling Seattle rookie Ariel Miranda (2-1, 5.76 ERA) takes the mound to face the Rangers' A.J. Griffin (7-3, 4.41 ERA).
