You had a feeling this one wasn't going to end well when Dillon Gee labored, early. Averaging about a pitch a minute, he allowed a single to Mariners lead-off hitter Ketel Marte. Two batters later he fielded a grounder from Robinson Cano and sailed the throw to second to put men at first and third. He managed to get Nelson Cruz down in the count 0-2 before he beaned him. Kyle Seager made him pay for these mistakes with a 2-RBI single past a diving Whit Merrifield. Gee did limit the damage by getting Adam Lind to roll into a double play to mercifully end the 22-pitch first inning.
