Mariners pitcher Taijuan Walker earned a win in his season debut Monday, giving up three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six in six innings during his team's 10-4 victory over the Astros.
Walker (1-0) gave up a two-run home run in the first inning and a solo home run in the second inning but was able to put together four scoreless frames thereafter to secure a quality start. The top prospect tossed 94 pitches in his season debut with the Mariners. He's scheduled to face the White Sox Sunday.
