Mariners will give Marco Gonzales one more start, still deciding on James Paxton
Marco Gonzales prodded enough to get the Seattle Mariners to commit to starting him one more time before the season ends on Sunday.
Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed plans to start the former Gonzaga University standout on Thursday in the series opener against the Texas Rangers before going with Wade LeBlanc on Friday.
He said he’s yet to determine whether they’d do the same for James Paxton and give him one more start before riding off into the offseason.
“We’ll wait and see on Saturday and Sunday, yet,” Servais said. “If he feels well, I would bring him back again and we’d look at probably 80-85 pitches.”
