Rookie Kade Anderson Picks up First Win with 6 Sharp Innings as Mariners Beat Rangers 3-2
Kade Anderson allowed one run in six innings for his first major league win, and Cole Young delivered the go-ahead two-run double.
On Wednesday, rookie Kade Anderson earned his first Major League Baseball victory, pitching six sharp innings as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Texas Rangers 3-2.
Jake Burger's solo homer in the second inning gave Texas an early lead, but Cole Young answered with a two-run double in the fourth to put Seattle ahead for good.
Making his fourth big league start, the 22-year-old Anderson allowed one run on four hits with five strikeouts and one walk. Statcast metrics showed an 88th-percentile extension and 35.8% chase rate.
Seranthony Dominguez relieved Anderson in the seventh, and closer Andres Munoz earned his 26th save despite Gabe Speier allowing a Corey Seager home run in the eighth.
The crowd of 21,565 featured as many Seattle Seahawks jerseys as Mariners jerseys, as the game was moved early to precede the Seahawks hosting the New England Patriots at Lumen Field in a Super Bowl rematch.
