SEATTLE (AP) – Seattle Mariners starter Ariel Miranda has not allowed a hit against the Houston Astros through six innings.
It’s unlikely Miranda will get a chance to finish off the no-hit bid as he was at 112 pitches Tuesday night at Safeco Field. The game was tied at 1.
Miranda has five strikeouts, but he struggled with his command and issued six walks. Three of those walks came in the third inning and led to Houston’s run. Miranda walked the bases loaded with one out and Alex Bregman’s sacrifice fly scored Carlos Beltran.
Justin Verlander started for the Astros in his first game since being traded by Detroit.
