Taijuan Walker is set to make his first start for the Mariners since neck spasms forced him to make an early exit last Friday in a loss to the Astros.

The 23-year-old righty will take a 1.97 ERA and 1.03 WHIP into his battle against young stud, Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer. In the lineup, Seattle has cleanup man Nelson Cruz at DH, third baseman Kyle Seager hitting fifth, and Seth Smith playing right field and hitting sixth.

The game is set for a 12:40 start on 710 ESPN Seattle, with the pregame show beginning at 11:30.
