It wasn’t Selection Sunday for the Mariners, which is probably a good thing for Ariel Miranda and Casey Fien among others after the shambles of a 9-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
Miranda failed to last two innings in his return to the rotation after a lights-out relief appearance on May 8 against Cleveland. He gave up four runs in 1 2/3 innings while allowing four hits and two walks.
"You have these days every once in a while in spring training," manager Scott Servais said. "(Miranda) was really out of sync. We brought him back after he had the one inning (in relief), and we messed up his schedule.
