The Seattle Mariners<\/a> fell to the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night, 7-4, after the Rays scored four runs in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n

The first two Rays runs in that inning came on a home run by Ren\u00e9 Pinto<\/a> off Mariners starter George Kirby that tied the game at 4.<\/p>\n

Hindsight may be 20\/20, but after the game, Kirby admitted to reporters that he wanted to be taken out after his sixth inning.<\/p>\n

But it wasn’t necessarily because he allowed the home run. In fact, he thought he felt he’d reached his limit.<\/p>\n

“I wish I wasn’t out there for the seventh [inning], to be honest,” Kirby said after the game<\/a>. “I was at 90 pitches. And I didn’t think I really could go anymore. But it is what it is.”<\/p>\n

Through six innings, Kirby was at 93 pitches. He served up the two-run shot on his 102nd and final pitch of the night, one shy of his season high.<\/p>\n

Kirby has hit the 100-pitch mark five times this season and averages about 92 pitches per start.<\/p>\n

The right-hander’s comments received quite the backlash on social media, and the All-Star realized his mistake.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, he told reporters he apologized to his manager, Scott Servais, for his comments.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I screwed up. That’s not me. Skip’s always got to pry that ball out of my hands,” he said<\/a>. “Super uncharacteristic of me as a player and who I am out on that mound. I love competing. I just screwed up and really looking forward to next week and going forward and enjoying the time with the team, get in the playoffs and getting my work done.”<\/p>\n

Kirby was named to his first All-Star Game this season, his second in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

He has some of the best control in all of baseball. Entering Saturday, he led the majors in strikeout-to-walk ratio (9.44) and walks per nine innings (0.9).<\/p>\n

Kirby owns a 3.48 ERA in 27 starts this season as his Mariners are a half-game behind the Houston Astros<\/a> for the AL West lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
