The Mariners played a costly extra-inning game Friday night. After placing James Paxton on the disabled list earlier in the day, two relievers went came out of the game on consecutive batters:
Jean Machi left with two outs after walking Carlos Gomez. Evan Marshall, just called up from Triple-A on Friday, was given time to get ready, but on his second pitch to Joey Gallo, he screamed in pain and grabbed at the back of his right leg as he dropped to the ground. He had to be helped off the field.
Manager Scott Servais told reporters after the game that Machi has a nerve issue in his right thumb that made it difficult to feel the ball. He is day-to-day.
Servais said Marshall would be out a significant amount of time with a hamstring injury.
The Mariners came into the season with a lot of optimism, but they are now four games under .500 and seven games out of first place in the AL West. With Paxton and Felix Hernandez on the disabled list, both their starting rotation and bullpen are a bit depleted.
