ANAHEIM, Calif. — They’ve dealt with the issues from day one of the season, so why not one more time on the second-to-last day of the season?
The season of the injured starting pitcher continued on Saturday night in Game 161 for the Seattle Mariners in what would be a 6-4 come-from-behind win over the Angels.
Andrew Moore was scheduled to make the start at Angels Stadium, giving the young right-hander one more chance to show he belonged at the big-league level before heading into the offseason.
However neck spasms that started on Friday continued into Saturday and M’s manager Scott Servais had no choice but to scratch Moore and insert lefty Andrew Albers into the spot.
