The bigger pitching story was newest Mariners lefty Ross Detwiler. He hadn’t pitched at an MLB level in two seasons yet looked well-adapted as the master of double plays tonight. He also kept the hitting in the game, capped off by toning down a no-out, bases loaded rally with just a Correa sac fly allowed.
Holding that rally at large made a difference as bottom third, Kyle Seager “tied the game up” with his own bases-loaded situation. Despite striking out on a full count, Houston’s Max Stassi gave the home team a gift with a passed ball. Kyle’s disappointing season continues.
