A series win, Taylor Trammell’s first career hit, dingers and some competent pitching. Honestly, what more could you want on a Saturday night?
Chris Flexen, in his Mariners debut - and first major league start since Aug. 24, 2019 - swirled through the hoary San Francisco Giants lineup for five innings, striking out six and not allowing a run. He topped out at 95 and wielded his cutter with aplomb, but struggled with command and the changeup in particular was...not pleasant. Could he have replicated this outing with minimal damage against a more formidable offensive foe?
