| |  | BALTIMORE: BALTIMORE (AP) - The transformation of the Baltimore Orioles clubhouse under manager Buck Showalter is complete.
No longer do the Orioles hope to win. They expect it.
When Showalter took over in July 2010, he inherited a team with the worst record in the majors. Having gone without a winning season since 1997, Baltimore could only hope Showalter's knack for orchestrating quick turnarounds would take hold in a town that had switched its allegiance from baseball to football.
By 2012, the Orioles were back. Baltimore won 93 games, beat Texas in the wild-card matchup and took the New York Yankees to the limit before falling in the AL division series.
After missing the postseason last year, the Orioles are poised for a return. They maintained the nucleus of a team that went 85-77 and was in contention to the final week, then added right-handed starter Ubaldo Jimenez and slugger Nelson Cruz to an already potent lineup that led the majors in home runs in 2013.
''When you have talent, you have confidence,'' right fielder Nick Markakis said. ''Put them together and good things usually happen. We've got that right now. We know we have a good team and we're going to roll with it.''
Although Jimenez and Cruz didn't come aboard until after the start of spring training, Showalter never wavered in his belief that the Orioles would challenge the defending champion Boston Red Sox and retooled Yankees in the AL East.
''I felt that way whether or not we added Nelson and Jimenez,'' he said. ''That's a poor reflection on me and my staff if we thought we needed more to win.''
| | SEATTLE: SEATTLE (AP) - Robinson Cano was just the start. The Seattle Mariners didn't stop with one major splash in trying to catch up with the best in the AL West.
Even so, there remain many questions about whether Seattle's additions as a whole can improve a team coming off a 71-win season.
The moves made by Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik were in hopes of improving the Mariners and solidifying his own future after a shaky offseason that started with Eric Wedge's decision not to return as manager.
Lloyd McClendon is getting his second shot as a major league manager nine years after he was last leading a club in Pittsburgh. Along with Cano, Seattle signed outfielder Corey Hart, closer Fernando Rodney and traded for designated hitter Logan Morrison.
Despite those moves, there remain concerns about the depth of Seattle's rotation beyond ace Felix Hernandez and whether players the Mariners have been waiting for to finally pop can establish themselves as reliable, everyday starters.
Yet the Mariners believe they will be competitive in one of baseball's toughest divisions.
''We're ready to win. That's what it's all about,'' Hernandez said. ''We're ready to win ballgames in Seattle. We're ready to be in the playoffs, we're ready to do that.''

*Orioles-Mariners Preview* ==========================
By JON PALMIERI STATS Editor
Baltimore (57-45) at Seattle (53-50), 4:10 p.m. EDT
The Baltimore Orioles have a chance to finish a very challenging road trip above .500.
They'll try to achieve that behind their hottest starting pitcher.
Miguel Gonzalez looks to continue his outstanding July and help the Orioles take three of four from the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
Coming out of the All-Star break with 10 straight road games against Oakland and the Los Angeles Angels - baseball's top two teams - and contending Seattle was a difficult assignment for the AL East-leading Orioles (57-46). However, they won five of the first eight behind a 2.66 ERA from their starters before Bud Norris struggled in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.
"We don't look at it like, 'If we do this we're successful.' You come out here and try to win 10," manager Buck Showalter told MLB's official website. "We don't do math. We don't do percentages or anything. You post up and you play and try to win a nine-inning game. Every day is another opportunity."
Starting Gonzalez (5-5, 3.91 ERA) against a weak Seattle offense seems a favorable matchup for Baltimore. The right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.90 ERA in three starts this month, pitching at least 7 2-3 innings in each outing. Gonzalez has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 14 of 16 starts, but the Orioles are only 8-8 in those games.
He was outstanding in a 4-2 win over the Angels on Tuesday, taking a two-hit shutout into the eighth inning before allowing a two-run homer to Mike Trout. Those were the only runs he gave up in 7 2-3 innings.
"That's as good as you can see a guy pitch, especially in a hostile environment against a really good team," Showalter said. "That's about as sharp as I've seen Miggy in a while. He had everything working and everything at his disposal, and he had command of it."
Gonzalez has never faced the Mariners but he's plenty familiar with Robinson Cano, who is only 2 for 18 in their matchups.
Seattle (54-50) ended a four-game skid Saturday, getting seven shutout innings from Chris Young and a pair of doubles and two runs from Dustin Ackley. The Mariners have totaled eight runs and batted .190 with no homers in the past five games.
A struggling offense has also been a problem for the Orioles, who were held to three hits Saturday and are batting .168 over their last seven games. Baltimore, though, has six home runs and nine doubles during that span while batting .273 with runners in scoring position.
The Orioles will get their first look at Seattle rookie Roenis Elias (8-8, 4.41), who hopes to build on his most effective outing in a month.
After losing three straight starts behind a 10.05 ERA, the left-hander took advantage of an extended layoff and beat the Mets 5-2 on Monday in his first appearance in 12 days. He allowed one run and five hits over 5 1-3 innings while walking two and striking out eight before leaving with cramping in his left forearm.
"The rest definitely helped," Elias told MLB's official website. "It especially helped seeing my son and my wife. It gave me more energy to go forward as the season goes along."
The Orioles have won eight of 11 at Safeco Field.
