Mariners pitcher James Paxton allowed just four hits over seven scoreless innings while striking out 10 and moving to 3-0 in his team's 4-0 win over the Royals.
Paxton's fourth career start was his best, as he limited the Royals to just two fly balls while walking no batters for the first time. He brings a 1.50 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB ratio into Sunday's finale against the A's.
