Swanson was not expected to go too long, so the Mariners couldn't have asked for much better of a start. The lone run came on a home run hit by Joey Gallo. He departed with two outs in the third inning after walking Willie Calhoun, who wound up being picked off first base to end the inning.

The Mariners could use Erik Swanson as the opener on Saturday against Texas before moving to Ljay Newsome and Robert Dugger as the bulk pitcher after that, according to Mariners manager Scott Servais.

This is the spot in the rotation where Newsome was blasted last time out. Despite the Mariners starting rotation being banged up, Servais still seems to want to run with the six-man rotation which is why they are in this position to begin with.
