His career in Seattle began on August 4, 2005, at the ripe old age of 19. He made his first start that day against the Tigers in Detroit, losing 3-1. Many times he lost with that score or less. A few years ago I counted at least 50 losses he had where the Mariners scored fewer than three runs and he had given up no more than three and losing.
Right now, Felix’s career record going into his final start in Seattle is 169-135. Had Felix not lost so many games when the Mariners offense couldn’t score for him his record would be close to 200 wins and losses closer to 100.
