The Mariners bullpen continues to churn, as the team has made a roster move for the second straight day. Having gone into yesterday’s game already shorthanded and desperately needing a long outing from starter George Kirby, the team was further waylaid by three extra innings that saw them use Justin Topa (who was brand new to the team), JB Bukauskas (who was very bad), and Penn Murfee (who was supposed to be unavailable).
It was so bad that Scott Servais said after the game that if the game had gone to 13 innings, they would have had a position player pitch.
