Back from the All-Star break, the Seattle Mariners go for their fourth straight win in Cleveland tonight when they open a four-game set with the last-place Indians.

Garrett Olson gets the start for the Mariners as they open a seven-game swing that includes a visit to Detroit, which currently leads the AL Central. The lefthander made his last two appearances out of the bullpen, but is back in the rotation after Brandon Morrow and Jason Vargas were optioned to Triple-A Tacoma within the past week.

While Seattle’s pitching staff boasts the AL’s best ERA at 3.73, Cleveland owns the majors’ worst at 5.40.

Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee is well off his 2008 pace of 22 victories. Since pitching a three-hitter in a win over St. Louis on June 14, the lefthander is 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA in five starts
