In what’s becoming a familiar theme for the spring, the Mariners provided plenty of offense but also gave up plenty of runs in today’s contest against the Royals. In a nice change of pace, however, today when the dust settled the Mariners had one more run than their opponents, which experts tell me is how teams “win games,” earning their second win of the spring.
Bryce Miller made his second start of the spring, and again mixed in some good — two strikeouts to one walk, making it 2.1 innings on his 45 pitches, and showing off some good split fingers — with the not-as-good, namely a pair of solo home runs on a couple of mistake pitches.
