CHICAGO -- He didn't get a win to show for his efforts, but Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker proved a few things in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Pitching with an aggressive approach, Walker allowed just four hits in 7 1/3 innings and looked far more like the youngster who dazzled the American League for the first six weeks of the season before foot troubles and a stint back in Triple-A derailed his progress.
Walker took the loss in part because he didn't get much help from his offense and because two well-placed balls fueled the White Sox two-run fourth, which was the only inning he allowed hits until the eighth.
