Mariners momentum is near season-high following stellar Rangers series

Best Pitcher: Bryce Miller

6.0 IP, 84 P, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K

Despite pitching in the only loss of the series, Miller can't be blamed for the final result after putting up a one-run quality start. In a duel against highly-toted pitching prospect Kumar Rocker, Miller had just six whiffs (five against his four-seam fastball) but 19 called strikes (five against his sinker). His fastball sat around 95 mph while his breaking balls clocked in around the mid-80s.

Honorable Mention: George Kirby

7.0 IP, 85 P, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K

Following a disappointing outing against the Padres, Kirby got back to business by allowing just a single baserunner over seven innings. He had eight whiffs (five against his four-seam fastball) and 12 called strikes (seven against his slider). His outing against the Rangers was his 27th quality start since 2022 with no walks, the most in MLB.
