Mariners pitcher James Paxton wasn't a factor in the decision Saturday after allowing one earned run on six hits in 6 1/3 innings and striking out four in his team's 2-1, 10-inning loss to the White Sox.
Paxton struck out the side in the first inning and put together three perfect innings before allowing a baserunner, but the White Sox finally got to him with two doubles in the seventh inning, taking away his tenuous lead. Paxton owns a 2.38 ERA and 22:5 K:BB ratio in 22 2/3 innings. He's scheduled to face the Tigers Friday.
