Mariners pitcher Brandon Maurer was hung with a loss after giving up two earned runs on two hits and four walks in 3 2/3 innings while striking out three in his team's 2-0 loss to the Rays Wednesday.
Maurer (1-2) walked three straight batters in the fourth inning, with the third walk bringing in a run. After Maurer was removed, the next pitcher uncorked a wild pitch to bring another run home that was charged to the starter. Maurer owns a 6.00 ERA and 13:9 K:BB ratio in 24 innings. He's scheduled to face the Rangers next Wednesday, though the Mariners could adjust the rotation with two off days on the horizon.
