SEATTLE —
The walk continues to dog Dinelson Lamet as he attempts to transition from Tommy John patient to full-time, unbridled starting pitcher. The Mariners, these days, just aren’t in much of a position to make anyone pay for mistakes.
The 27-year-old right-hander took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning in his sixth start back from elbow reconstruction, tying a career-high with 12 strikeouts in a 9-4 win Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park.
The flirtation with the first no-hitter in Padres history – even with Lamet walking a season-high four batters – shouldn’t have come as all that much of a surprise.
