Notable
The Mariners suffered through their first Cactus League blowout of the spring. Starter Rob Whalen was credited with just two innings pitched, giving up nine runs (eight earned) on eight hits with three walks and two strikeouts. Whalen didn’t help himself with a pair of throwing errors that led to runs being scored.
Whalen actually worked into the third inning, but never recorded an out. He exited with the bases loaded and watched as minor league call-up reliever Bryan Bonnell served up a grand slam to Yan Gomes.
Reliever Ryan Cook also struggled, giving up five runs on five hits in 2/3 of an inning pitched, aided by three walks.
