Mariners starter George Kirby said he didn't want to pitch in the seventh inning of Friday night's loss, an inning in which Kirby gave up a game-tying home run on his 102nd pitch of the night.
"I wish I wasn't out there for the seventh , to be honest," Kirby said after the game.
"I was at 90 pitches," Kirby explained,"and I didn't think I really could go any more. But it is what it is."The 25-year-old is 10-9 with a 3.48 ERA and was a first-time All-Star this season. He leads the Mariners with 17 quality starts and has exceeded 100 pitches five times this year. However, Kirby has not won a game since Aug. 5, a stretch that has seen him go 0-1 with four no-decisions.
In his second year in the majors, the former first-round pick has already thrown a career-high 165 2/3 innings for a Mariners team that is looking to make consecutive postseason appearances for the first time in over 20 years.
