After Pagan struggled mightily in his debut of the 2016 AFL season, the Mariners organization were holding their breath until his next start. In that debut, not much could have gone worse. He gave up a home run, walked a batter and most importantly, allowed four earned runs, all in one inning of work.
His next start he was able to hold his opponent to zero runs scored, but instead, he raised his total walks. Pagan walked three batters this outing. Those three walks were distributed over two innings rather than one, though, so there is a silver lining.
