Kirby at 99 Pitches Through 5 Innings vs. Rays
High pitch count driven by 25 foul balls suggests Kirby is unlikely to pitch deep into the game against Tampa Bay.
Seattle Mariners starter George Kirby reached 99 pitches through five innings against the Tampa Bay Rays. Statcast data shows the Rays fouled off 25 pitches in the outing, contributing heavily to the elevated count. The workload strongly suggests Kirby will not return for a sixth inning, putting pressure on the Seattle bullpen. This is a live in-game development reported by Mariners beat reporter Ryan Divish.
