Seattle Mariners reliever Collin Snider added another solid outing to what's shaping out to be a career-best season on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Seattle Mariners bullpen has been an amalgamation of injuries, regressions, improvements and even an All-Star selection this season.
One one hand, the Mariners have seen long-term injuries to Matt Brash, Gregory Santos and Gabe Speier.Rookie Troy Taylor made his major league debut for Seattle and has looked generally solid in his few outings. But his spot in the bullpen came at the expense of some rough showings from Jhonathan Diaz, Jonathan Hernandez and Eduard Bazardo.The third-year pro is in the middle of a career-best year and had another solid appearance on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Snider was the first reliever out of the bullpen and took the mound from starter George Kirby in the bottom of the seventh. He helped retire the side in order.Snider has a 1.08 ERA in 26 appearances this year with 27 strikeouts in 25 innings pitched. That pairs him with Cleveland Guardians close Emmanuel Clase as one of the top statistical relievers in the sport.If those stats hold until the end of the year — it would be more than three earned runs better then his previous career-high of 4.
The Mariners have had success cultivating bullpen arms in the last few years and Snider is the latest success story.The Seattle Mariners put up the best offensive performance of its current road trip with a 10-3 win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. The Seattle Mariners went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, left 10 runners on base, lost their fifth-straight game and lost the series to the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 7-2 on Saturday.
