Mariners rookie James Paxton was victimized by his own goof in the field and took his first loss in 10 career starts Wednesday in Philadelphia.
Paxton surrendered four runs - but just one earned - in four innings. He gave up seven hits, walked one, fanned five and threw 88 pitches. He blew a 3-1 lead in the fourth by giving up three unearned runs, courtesy of his own throwing error, a passed ball and two soft singles.
The left-hander will seek to rebound Monday against Texas.
