Mariners pitcher Taijuan Walker surrendered five earned runs on six hits and four walks in four innings while striking out three to take the loss in his team's 5-2 defeat against the Dodgers Wednesday.
Walker (0-2) looked fantastic this spring, but the results haven't carried over to his first two starts of the year. He gave up three runs in the first inning before the Dodgers tacked on another in the second and one more in the third. Walker owns a 17.18 ERA and 6:6 K:BB ratio in 7 1/3 innings heading into Tuesday's scheduled start against the Astros.
