Utility man Willie Bloomquist earned a start at shortstop for the Mariners on Saturday, hitting eighth in the lineup as they take on the Rays.
Bloomquist has played the most at short for the M's this season, but hasn't provided them much punch, as he's hitting just .163 with three RBIs on the year.
The Mariners have struggled to find consistent production at short, with Brad Miller hitting just .228 and Chris Taylor not hitting before he was sent to Triple-A.
