The Seattle Mariners won the series against the Texas Rangers on Sunday, thanks to a masterful pitching performance by right-hander Bryan Woo. Woo gave the Mariners seven strong innings, allowing two earned runs, a walk, and striking out six.
Despite pitching like an ace, Woo wasn’t happy about letting up the two runs, which came in his final inning of work in the 5-2 victory over the Rangers.
Bryan Woo didn’t like how he ended his outing in the Seattle Mariners win over the Texas Rangers
“It's just the concept of keeping teams down when they're down,” Woo said to MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer. “Not giving them any life when we got a lead, and I'm going out for whatever it is later in the game -- not letting them have any momentum. Not letting them breathe in any way.”
“You give up the two there, and then it's like, the at-bats for the next inning for Gabe are just more stressful,” Woo said. “And there's no need for that if I just do my job. So, yeah, I'm still beating myself up over it.”
