SEATTLE -- Reliever Dominic Leone's sophomore slump continued Sunday at Safeco Field as he dropped to 0-4 in the Mariners 6-3, 12-inning loss to the Cleveland Indians.
A year after the 23-year-old was a lockdown member of the best bullpen in the Major Leagues, Leone has struggled in 2015 while bouncing between Triple-A Tacoma and Seattle.
In his first appearance since being recalled from the Rainiers earlier this week, Leone allowed three runs on two hits and three walks in the top of the 12th inning after entering with the game tied at 3.
He walked Lonnie Chisenhall to start the inning, struck out Michael Bourn, then Jose Ramirez delivered a double that skipped off the glove of first baseman Logan Morrison and down the right-field line.
