Mariners' Vidal Nuno: Pitches 3.1 innings in emergency start
Nuno allowed four runs on four hits and three walks in 3.1 innings Thursday in an emergency start after scheduled starter Arian Sampson was injured in pregame warmups. He struck out two.
Analysis:
Sampson injured his elbow on his second warmup pitch so Nuno was tabbed to start in his place. Nuno had pitched more than two innings just twice this season before taking one for the team Thursday. He threw 68 pitches in a decent outing, all things considered.
