The Mariners will turn to Hisashi Iwakuma to help the team avoid being swept Sunday in the finale of a three-game set against the Angels.

Iwakuma has worked at least six innings in each of his last 10 starts against the Angels, posting a record of 4-4 with a 2.90 ERA, with 37 strikeouts and nine walks.

Seattle will look for rookie Mitch Haniger to continue providing pop at the plate, as he became the eighth rookie in club history to hit two home runs in the club’s first six games to start the season, and the first since Kenji Johjima accomplished this feat in 2006.
