Mariners pitcher James Paxton allowed just one earned run on five hits while striking out two in four innings in his team's 3-3 tie with the Diamondbacks Monday.
Paxton gave up his first run of the spring Monday but still owns a 1.00 ERA and 4:0 K:BB ratio through nine innings. He's doing what he needs to do to win a spot in the rotation and will look to keep rolling in his next start, likely this weekend.
