On Tuesday night in Seattle, Mychal Givens nailed down his sixth save of the year in a 5-3 win over the Mariners. He pitched 1.2 innings of scoreless baseball, the only blemish on his pitching line an intentional walk to Kyle Seager.
Givens entered the game in the eighth with the bases loaded and one out, at which point he induced a ground ball fielder’s choice that ended with a throwing error by Breyvic Valera. As a result, two runs scored, both of which were charged to the previous pitcher, Paul Fry.
