JJ Putz has pitched three days in a row, so he has to be unavailable tonight, right?
Right?

Pavano (2-2, 4.80) Mateo (1-0, 0.41)
While I'm a little nervous about Mateo making his first Major League start against a hot offense, and a slop-throwing Campillo probably making his debut in relief, I'm also pretty excited, because it's going to be a new approach to solving an old problem. And hey, we slapped Pavano around the last time we faced him, so there's reason for hope.
LET'S GO MARINERS!
