Seattle Mariners Take Game 2 of Opening Series Against Cleveland Guardians 5-1
Cole Young provided the go-ahead home run for the Mariners and Luke Raley provided insurance behind a quality start from George Kirby
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners pulled back to even on the season and in the series against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The Mariners (1-1) took the second of the four-game set 5-1. George Kirby was on the mound for Seattle in his first start of the season.
It was his first outing in March in two years. He missed the first two months of last season due to a right shoulder injury. Kirby recorded the first quality start of the season for the Mariners.
He struck out six batters in as many innings pitched, walked two, hit another and allowed one earned run on two hits (one home run). "Super pumped for my first start here back in Seattle," Kirby said in a postgame interview Friday. "(Seeing) all the fans and everyone in the crowd was awesome.
