SEATTLE -- Another game, another quality start for a Mariners starting pitcher in September.
Even though the Mariners lost, 5-3, to the Angels on Sunday at Safeco Field, Erasmo Ramirez collected his sixth consecutive quality start and the eighth by a Mariners starting pitcher in nine games in September, by allowing two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings while striking out seven and walking none.
"Our starting pitching, as rocky of waters as we were in for such a long time, has really smoothed things out for us," Mariners manager Scott Servais said.
