Mariners starter Brandon Maurer was the pitcher of record when he left the ballgame but his bullpen ruined his win Monday night at home against the Royals. Maurer settled for the no-decision on a solid outing.

Maurer allowed just two runs -- one earned -- on four hits and a walk over seven solid innings. He threw 95 pitches and struck out six batters for Seattle. His ERA is still high at 6.48 on the year.

The 23-year-old gave up just three runs over his last two outings spanning 12 innings with 12 Ks. The Mariners haven't yet decided if Maurer will get another start. If he does, it is likely to come either Saturday or Sunday during the final series of the season against Oakland.
