Mariners pticher Brandon Maurer gave up four earned runs on six hits while striking out one and walking none in 2 2/3 innings in his team's 8-2 loss to the Royals Monday.
While Maurer wasn't as hittable in his spring debut, he did walk one and hit two batters in two innings of work. He owns a 9.64 ERA in 4 2/3 innings and is unlikely to win a rotation spot without a quick turnaround.
