Mike Zunino then bounced to shortstop Simmons, who threw out Cruz at home. On Saturday night, he finally got to make the Angels pay. Give me the home team and cheap price. “But I’m a Mariner now”.
“We’re kind of piecing it together down there”, manager Scott Servais said after the Mariners’ second consecutive comeback win Saturday night.
Lincecum pitched solidly in three starts for the Angels Triple-A affiliate (2.65 ERA, 19:6 K/BB ratio), and then had a solid debut for the Angels on June 18 (one run and four hits allowed over six innings). He allowed one run in six innings in his first start with the Halos, but has allowed 40 runs in 32 1/3 innings since.
“We’re going to have to sit down and review his video and see where the positives were and see what we are”, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
“It’s hard news to take, but Tim understands it”, Scioscia said. Paxton is 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA and 34 strikeouts in his career against the Angels.

Both starting pitchers struggled.
Tim Lincecum was designated for assignment on Saturday by the Los Angeles Angels, bringing into question the professional future for the two-time Cy Young Award victor.

MINUS: The Mariners found them down 3-0 three hitters into the game for second straight night because of a Mike Trout homer… Leonys Martin’s sacrifice fly pulled Seattle within 6-5 before O’Malley’s shot. One run scored on the sacrifice fly.
CHICAGO – Manny Machado became the second player in major league history to homer in the first, second and third innings, driving in a career-high seven runs in a 10-2 victory over Chicago.
OUR PICK: The over has cashed in five of the last six meetings between these two teams and is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Seattle. The deficit was down to 6-4. I just wanted to finish it. “But I just had to keep grinding”. At this point, the Angels are not planning to completely sever ties with Lincecum. Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports that they would like for Lincecum to report to Triple-A to continue working on his mechanics and his command. Lincecum said after Friday’s game that he felt he was making progress. Seattle made a couple trades before the game, acquiring relievers Pat Venditte (from Toronto) and Arquimedes Caminero (from Pittsburgh).
