Mariners pitcher Taijuan Walker took the loss on Wednesday, giving up two earned runs on four hits and one walk in six innings while striking out six in his team's 4-2 defeat against the Padres.
Walker (1-4) gave up a pair of runs in the third inning, with one coming on a solo home run, but it was a largely positive outing for the young pitcher, who has struggled through much of the season after an excellent spring.
Walker owns a 7.22 ERA and 33:15 K:BB ratio in 33 2/3 innings. He's lined up to face the Orioles in Baltimore Tuesday.
