Right-hander Casey Lawrence has been part of the shuttle this season between Triple-A Tacoma and the Mariners and, after Monday, he’s again pushing for a recall to the big leagues.
Lawrence, 29, pitched a complete-game shutout in the Rainiers’ 9-0 romp against Albuquerque (Rockies) at Cheney Stadium. That followed a June 28 victory over Las Vegas (Mets) when he gave up two runs in six innings.
Those two starts earned recognition for Lawrence as the TNT player of the week for the Mariners’ farm system for the period of June 27 to July 3.
The Mariners acquired Lawrence from Toronto in a May 11 waiver claim.
