Mariners can’t escape another deep hole, and lose again to White Sox, 8-1
The familiar swap-out, sub-in game of musical chairs for the Mariners rotation unfolded again Sunday.
And when the music stopped, it was right-hander Chris Heston’s turn to get a shot at contributing to the team.
In 2015, Heston won 12 games and posted an earned-run average under 4.00 for the reigning World Series champion San Francisco Giants. He threw a no-hitter that season.
On Sunday, Heston — who started this season in Triple-A Tacoma — walked three of the first five hitters he faced and gave up five runs before the first inning was over.
The outburst buried Seattle immediately, and the Chicago White Sox won, 8-1, in front of 36,782 at Safeco Field.
