SEATTLE -- Julio Rodriguez hit a two-run double, rookie Bryce Miller pitched seven crisp innings and the Seattle Mariners overcame a dominant performance by Lance Lynn, defeating the Chicago White Sox 5-1 on Sunday.
Lynn matched a franchise record with 16 strikeouts in seven-plus innings, but Miller was terrific and Seattle received clutch hits from Rodríguez and Jarred Kelenic in the victory.
Though he fell to 4-7 with the loss, perhaps Lynn can use Sunday's effort to turn his fortunes around. According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Lynn's strikeout total was the most in a game by a pitcher entering with an ERA of 6-plus since 1913, when earned runs became official in both leagues.
