DENVER -- Having spent his first three seasons in the Majors with the Rockies, Christian Bergman is no stranger to Coors Field. But familiarity doesn't mean comfort when it comes to pitching in Coors, as the Mariners' spot starter was reminded again in a 10-7 loss in Friday's Interleague series opener.
Bergman, called up from Triple-A Tacoma to give Felix Hernandez's sore back a break, gave up six hits and five runs in 4 1/3 innings as the Mariners suffered their second straight blowout loss to fall four back of the Astros in the American League West at 58-37.
