If the Oakland Athletics hope to make a run at winning the AL West, they need to continue taking advantage of the worst team in the division. The Athletics look to extend their dominance of the Seattle Mariners when the division rivals open a three-game series at Safeco Field on Monday night. Oakland pulled within 7 1/2 games of Texas in the West after beating the Rangers 3-2 on Sunday. All-Star Trevor Cahill earned his 12th victory by yielding two unearned runs over eight innings. The Athletics have a major league-best 2.88 ERA since the All-Star break, and that’s close to the 2.89 ERA they have posted this year in winning six of nine against the Mariners. Oakland has done a good job of limiting All-Star Ichiro Suzuki to eight singles in 35 at-bats and three runs scored. Vin Mazzaro has yet to face Seattle this year, losing his only start against the Mariners as a rookie Aug. 24 by giving up three runs in five innings of a 3-1 road defeat.

The right-hander did not get a decision Tuesday in a 3-2 home loss to Kansas City after allowing two runs in six innings. Seattle second baseman Chone Figgins is 3 for 4 against Mazzaro and has been hitting well on this homestand. Figgins went 2 for 3 in a 3-2 win over the Royals on Sunday and is 12 for 23 over his last six games at Safeco. The Mariners received bad news after learning that shortstop Jack Wilson fractured a bone in his right hand in an accident at his home. They said Wilson slipped and fell in his bathroom, hitting his hand on the floor. The injury may be bad news for Oakland since Wilson is 2 for 23 against the A’s this year. Seattle starter Doug Fister has pitched well against Oakland, going 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA in four career starts. He’s given up one run over 15 innings in winning both outings against the Athletics at home.
