SEC Alumni Match Up in Mariners loss

The Mariners began a four-game series against the Texas Rangers today with a matchup between two former SEC studs, one Bryce Miller of Texas A&M, and the debut of the controversial (to the Mets at least) Kumar Rocker, a product of Vanderbilt. Rocker is the bigger star of the two, as a former first-rounder (twice over) versus Miller, who started out at a JUCO before transferring to A&M, pitching in the bullpen, and eventually being drafted as a fourth-rounder by the Mariners in 2021. However, the two SEC alumni showed out in a nice pitching duel over the first four innings of the game.
