Mariners starter Vidal Nuno was excellent in his outing against the White Sox on Saturday. The left-hander yielded one run on five hits over 6 2/3 strong innings. He walked one and struck out four, but did not factor in the decision after the bullpen let the lead slip away. The Mariners would fall 6-3 in extra innings.
Nuno was sharp on Saturday. The only run he allowed came on a solo home run by Trayce Thompson in the second inning. Aside from that, he did a good job of baffling the White Sox offense, in what was by far his best start of the season.
This was the first time Nuno pitched more than six innings since his very first start of the year, when he also went 6 2/3.
