Mariners vs. White Sox: Polanco pops, a Quality Kirby, Seattle plates 8 in an inning

Best Pitcher: George Kirby

88 pitches, 7.0 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K

George Kirby has officially hit peak form. His 3.03 ERA and 0.98 WHIP are impressive by themselves, but he's been even more dominant than his season stats would suggest. He had a 1.74 ERA in June over 31 innings pitched and with his final start in July, he posted a 2.01 ERA for this past month. He is the first Mariners pitcher to record 9+ consecutive quality starts since James Paxton in 2017.

In the first game of the series, he had just eight swings and misses but 13 called strikes, seven of which were on his sinker. His slider and splitter were both effective as well, neither resulting in a hit across 36 combined pitches.

Honorable Mention: Bryan Woo

70 pitches, 4.0 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

Woo had his first scoreless outing since his start against the Athletics on June 6th. He earned nine whiffs, five of which were on his four-seam fastball, and 16 called strikes, 12 of which were on fastballs. Although it was a shorter outing of just four innings, he was effective nonetheless and the combined efforts of the Mariners bullpen held it down to secure the win.
