6 years agoSeattle Mariners starting pitcher Mike Leake allowed just one earned run, six hits and no walks over seven innings in a hard-luck loss on Thursday night on the road against the New York Yankees. He threw 70 of his 105 pitches for strikes in the quality start, and he threw first-pitch strikes to 19 of the 27 batters he faced. Unfortunately for Leake, the Mariners managed to score just one run, and that didn't come until the top of the ninth inning in the 3-1 road setback. Still, he lowered his ERA from 4.91 to 4.37 and he turned in his second straight quality start. He'll try to stay hot against the visiting Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park.--Daniel Dobish
