AGAINST THE MARINERS: Today will be May’s first career start against Seattle...this will be his second career start and third career appearance against an AL West opponent...his first major league start was August 9, 2014 at Oakland, where he was dealt the loss after he gave up four runs on three hits and walked seven in 2.0 innings...his next outing was at Houston August 12, 2014 where he pitched 2.1 innings of relief and allowed two runs on three hits.

COMING HOME: As a native of Kelso, Wash., May grew up two hours away from SafeCo Field in Seattle...he attended Kelso High School, where he went 11-1 during his senior year to lead the team to the Class 3A state championships.
