A few hours before he was scheduled to pitch on Tuesday night, Mike Leake arrived in the Mariners clubhouse looking a little worn and peaked. But then again, he always sort of looks that way. Still when Leake walked directly into the training room without stopping at his locker it actually proved to be a sign of things to come.
About an hour later, the Mariners announced that Leake had bee scratched from his start due to an illness. Reliever Nick Vincent was penciled into yet another bullpen outing. The Astros were also doing the same.
But the Mariners had to make another roster move to give them a long reliever to the bullpen.
