Chris Flexen limited the Rangers to four baserunners and one run over 81 pitches in six dominant innings, which secured the Mariners’ third straight series win to match a season high. He likely would’ve gone deeper had he not been on a shorter leash due to the four days of rest he was on compared to the standard five in the construction of Seattle's six-man rotation.
That efficiency helped position Drew Steckenrider, Paul Sewald and Kendall Graveman to pitch the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, respectively, over which they allowed a combined one hit to the 10 batters they faced.
