Seattle Mariners' starter Taijuan Walker kept the majors' top scoring team, the Boston Red Sox, off the scoreboard over five innings after leaving his previous start with a strained tendon in his right foot.
But the 23-year-old righty was lifted after throwing 88 pitches, and Boston tied it at 1-1 in the sixth against Vidal Nuno on Hanley Ramirez's fielder's choice grounder. He said it started to bother him again in the first inning.
