New York Yankees vs Seattle Mariners Live Stream Free: Watch Online Major League Baseball at 10:10 PM ET at Safeco Field in Seattle

The Seattle Mariners begin a four-game set with the visiting New York Yankees on Thursday night at Safeco Field in Seattle.

Raul Ibanez, in his third stint with Seattle, hit 19 home runs for the Yankees last season, then led the way for the Mariners as they took two of three in New York from May 14-16, homering three times and driving in eight runs.

The 41-year-old outfielder owns an OPS of 1.187 with six home runs and 18 RBIs over his last 11 games against the Yankees dating to Sept. 6, 2008, when he was in his second tenure with the Mariners.

Ibanez homered Monday and Tuesday while helping Seattle (26-34) to wins over the White Sox and was 1 for 6 on Wednesday in a 7-5, 16-inning loss.

The Yankees, meanwhile, hope Travis Hafner will keep providing pop at the plate. He homered in Monday's 7-4 victory over Cleveland and added his 10th on Wednesday as New York (34-25) won 6-4 to complete a three-game sweep.

Hafner has hit safely in 20 of his last 22 games against Seattle while slugging .651 with seven home runs and 25 RBIs.

Hoping to keep Ibanez in the yard will be New York starter Phil Hughes (2-4, 5.37 ERA). He failed to do so in a 12-2 loss to Seattle on May 15, getting charged with seven runs on six hits -- including an Ibanez grand slam -- in two-thirds of an inning, the shortest start of his career.

Hughes also served up a grand slam to Boston's Mike Napoli in his last outing as he allowed five runs and seven hits over 4 1/3 innings in an 11-1 loss Saturday. He's allowed seven home runs in his last 23 2/3 innings.

On the hill for Seattle will be Aaron Harang (2-5, 5.82). The right-hander was 1-5 with an 8.58 ERA through his first six starts but has limited opponents to one earned run and eight hits over 15 innings in his last two outings.

Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano is batting .337 with 23 RBIs over his last 23 games against Seattle, while Lyle Overbay -- coming off the first three outfield starts of his career -- is 11 for 24 with five doubles when facing Harang.

The game will be broadcast on ROOT SPORTS and on The YES Network. Highlights can be found on MLB.COM
