Lineups: Mariners’ Robinson Cano slotted as DH in series finale

Robinson Cano will get a little less work than usual on the heels of his All-Star game festivities that will include a turn in the Home Run Derby. Cano will be the designated hitter, with Shawn O’Malley filling in at second base.

Mike Montgomery will make his first start of the season for Seattle. He has an active 10 2/3-inning scoreless streak dating back to June 22, including four innings of shutout relief in his last outing, July 5.
