Seeking a fifth consecutive win over Seattle, C.J. Wilson takes the mound opposite fellow lefty Joe Saunders as the Angels continue a four-game set with the visiting Mariners on Wednesday night.

After going 1-5 over his previous seven outings, Wilson (5-5, 3.90 ERA) got back on track with an impressive display in Friday's 5-2 win over the New York Yankees. The two-time All-Star allowed two runs and five hits over seven innings, improving to 3-2 with a 2.61 ERA over his last six home starts.

"A win's a win. I'll take a pretty win or an ugly win, or whatever,"  Wilson told MLB.com. "I'm very motivated to pitch deep into the game, and pitching a lot of innings is really what separates the good pitchers from the really good pitchers. I'm just trying to get back up to that level where I feel like I deserve to be."

Wilson has proven nearly unbeatable against the Mariners (32-40) since the start of 2011, going 7-1 with a 2.24 ERA and 65 strikeouts in nine starts spanning 60 1/3 innings. He yielded one run, six hits and struck out 10 in a season-high eight innings May 22 in a 7-1 victory, winning his third consecutive start in the series.

The Mariners give the ball to Saunders (5-6, 4.80), who's 2-1 with a 2.03 ERA over his last four starts. He gave up five hits over seven innings of one-run ball in Friday's 3-2 victory at Oakland, improving to 1-4 on the road with a 7.58 ERA -- nearly three times higher than his home mark of 2.53.

"It's just a matter of being consistent and staying confident in what you can do," he told MLB.com. "You know you can do this. It's just a matter of now doing it."

Los Angeles' Josh Hamilton grounded into a double play in each of his first three at-bats before striking out in his next two. The former AL MVP is hitting .163 with one homer in his last 12 home games.
