The unlucky pitcher took the loss despite striking out a major league-high 16 batters this season.
Chicago White Sox pitcher Lance Lynn pitched his best game of the season, but couldn't get any help from his teammates and took the loss.
Lynn pitched seven innings of four-hit ball with 16 strikeouts against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, on April 19, but his team fell to a 5-1 defeat.
He is 4-8 on the season with a 6.51 ERA. Lin ranks 64th in ERA among all pitchers with at least 65 innings pitched. This is his fifth quality start in 14 starts. It is the second time he has pitched seven innings since March 17 against the Cleveland Indians (seven innings, three runs on seven hits). He's had an uneven start this season.
But Lynn made franchise history by striking out 16 batters, the most in a single game and the second most in franchise history by a White Sox pitcher, behind only Jack Hashman (nine innings, five hits, two runs) against the Boston Red Sox on July 26, 1954.
The 16 strikeouts were also the most in the majors this season and the first since Spencer Strider of the Atlanta Braves did it against the Colorado Rockies on Sept. 2 of last year.
Lin showed off his powerful stuff, striking out at least two batters in every inning.
He used six different pitches. His fastball, which he threw 26 times, topped out at 94.1 mph and averaged 92.9 mph, half a mph faster than usual. His primary cutter, which he threw 36 times, topped out at 90.7 mph and averaged 88.1. He also threw a sinker (20), slider (13), changeup (11), and curve (8). Curveballs were his most common pitch for strikeouts (six). False swings induced 33, the fourth-most since Statcast began in 2008.
He gave up a single and a walk to put runners on first and second with one out in the third inning, then gave up a double to right to Julio Rodriguez for two runs, and after leaving the bases loaded in the eighth, the next pitcher gave up a single that turned into a triple.
But even with his explosive strikeout streak, Lin couldn't get the win. The White Sox offense could only muster one run while Lynn was on the mound, thanks to a strong outing from right-hander Bryce Miller. Miller pitched seven innings of four-hit, 안전놀이터 six-strikeout, one-run ball to improve to 5-3 on the season with a 3.68 ERA and earn a spot in the Rookie of the Year conversation.
To make matters worse for the White Sox, Reynaldo Lopez, who came on after Lin with the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth, gave up back-to-back singles and a Jarrett Kelenic triple to score three more runs.
After the game, Lin said, "My pitches were good today, but we lost. It doesn't matter how many strikeouts you have if you don't win." 오래된 토토사이트
"He threw 113 pitches, but he wanted to go out again," White Sox manager Pedro Griffol said. "He induced 33 wild swings, the most in the majors this season," said White Sox manager Pedro Griffol, while Seattle manager Scott Servais said, "He just dominated us.
