SEATTLE -- It wasn't the result Nathan Karns was looking for in his Mariners debut, but the 28-year-old right-hander walked away from Saturday's 6-1 loss to the A's believing he just needed to correct one critical mistake that Josh Reddick made him pay for in his five-inning stint at Safeco Field.
"I feel like I didn't pitch bad, I just had bad results at times," Karns said after giving up seven hits and four runs in his first career outing at Safeco. "If I take out that full-count pitch [to Reddick], maybe it's a 2-1 ballgame going into the sixth.
