July 1, 2010 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Tacoma Rainiers News Release
Tacoma, WA - The Tacoma Rainiers are set to welcome Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Erik Bedard to Cheney Stadium in a rehab start scheduled to take place tonight at 7:00 p.m.
The start will mark the left-hander's first as a Rainier and his third since ending his 2009 campaign early following season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder on August 14.
Bedard, 31, was originally acquired by Seattle in a trade with Baltimore in exchange for outfielder Adam Jones, left-handed pitcher George Sherrill, right-handed pitcher Kam Mickolio and left-hander pitcher Tony Butler on February 8, 2008. He re-signed with the Mariners on February 6, 2010.
The Canada native is 11-7 with a 3.23 ERA over two seasons and 30 starts with Seattle in 2008 and 2009. He went 5-3 with a 2.82 ERA last season and allowed two earned runs or fewer in 13 of his 15 starts with the Mariners.
Over a combined seven Major League seasons with Seattle and Baltimore, Bedard has a career record of 51-41 with a 3.81 ERA. Since 2006, he has put together a 3.40 ERA, which ranks him ninth among all pitchers who have tossed a minimum of 500.0 innings.
