Here you go, James Paxton.
This was the guy Thursday afternoon that the Mariners hope to see this year and beyond. He gave up one run over three innings in an 8-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Sloan Park.
"I’m not lost like I was last spring training," Paxton said, "which is a good feeling. Just having an idea and knowing what I need to do is a good feeling."
The Mariners built a 4-1 lead, frittered it away in the later innings, before staging a four-run rally in the ninth. Boog Powell, Zack Shank and Nevin Ashley contributed RBI single.
