George Kirby wasn’t frustrated about getting pulled early or the Mariners’ bullpen imploding. Instead, he was upset about getting left in too long.
The pivotal seventh inning started with a first-pitch groundout from shortstop Taylor Walls.
“George was — basically, you’re at the bottom of the order, 7-8-9. He’d done a really good job handling those guys at that point,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said, according to the Seattle Times. “We were thin in the bullpen tonight, so you’re just trying to stretch [him] a bit. But he had plenty in the tank.”
