George Kirby Flirts With No-No In Outstanding Start
10 months agoSeattle Mariners starting pitcher George Kirby hurled seven innings of two-run ball with seven strikeouts in Saturday's 8-3 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 25-year-old carried a no-hit bid into the sixth frame before allowing a Yandy Diaz double and Luke Raley homer. That would signify the only damage in the hit column towards Kirby's otherwise superb outing and seventh win of the campaign. The former first-rounder has logged four straight quality starts, now sporting a 3.21 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and shiny 86:9 K:BB over 101 innings this year. Kirby has a difficult matchup against the Houston Astros set for Thursday.
