Wednesday afternoon, the Seattle Mariners and Chris Young will take on the Houston Astros and Brad Peacock. Young will make his 16^th start and 17^th appearance as Peacock makes his 12^th start and 16^th appearance.

Chris Young picked up the win in his last outing and that improved his record to 7 -4 with a 3.15 ERA. In the win, Young pitched 5 innings of 1 run, 4 hit ball. He walked a batter and struck out 4. Young has had a decent season considering the fact that missed most of 2013 after undergoing surgery to fix a nerve problem in his pitching shoulder. Before he got hurt, he went 1 -2 with a 6.89 ERA in 9 starts in the Minors.

This season, Young has a start against the Astros. He pitched to a no-decision after allowing 3 runs on 4 hits (including a homer) in 7 innings of work.

Brad Peacock pitched to a no-decision in his last start and that held his record at 2- 4 with a 4.21 ERA. In that outing, Peacock allowed 2 runs on 7 hits (including a home run) in 6.2 innings of work as he walked 2 and struck out 3. With a few more starts, Peacock should match last season's record of 5 - 6 with an ERA of 5.18 in 14 starts and 4 relief appearances.

In 2013, Peacock didn't face the Mariners but he has a start against them this season. In that outing, he didn't get the decision after allowing 4 runs on 6 hits (including a home run) in 6 innings of work.
