Saddled with loss in quality start Flexen (0-2) took the loss in Saturday's 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Astros, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Flexen pitched well enough Saturday, but Seattle experienced a vintage performance from Justin Verlander and couldn't put a run on the board. The 27-year-old has now submitted identical lines of five hits, three runs and three strikeouts in both starts, though he was able to go a solid six innings against Houston. He's currently slated to face Kansas City for his next start on Friday.

Suffers loss against Twins Flexen (0-1) allowed three runs on five hits over 4.1 innings to take the loss against Minnesota on Monday. He struck out three and walked three.

Impact Flexen gave up a first-inning run but then went unscathed until the fifth. In that frame, he gave up a pair of hits to lead off the inning and was pulled for a reliever with one out. Both inherited runners came around to score, saddling Flexen with an unfavorable final line and leading to the loss. The right-hander will look for better results in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to take place at home against Houston this weekend.

Impressive in first spring start Flexen started the Mariners' Cactus League loss to the Angels on Sunday and allowed an earned run on two hits over three innings. He struck out four.

Impact Flexen was one of the several pleasant surprises for the Mariners last season, posting a 14-6 record, 3.61 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 31 starts. The right-hander enters 2022 with a solid grip on the No. 4 spot in the rotation, and he made a strong impression on manager Scott Servais in his first spring action while liberally incorporating the cutter he found plenty of success with a year ago, Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports. "All of his pitchers were working, and he had really good command," Servais said.

5.1 strong innings Flexen got a no-decision in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Angels, allowing one run on six hits and one walk with one strikeout in 5.1 innings.

Impact Flexen pitched well in Saturday's win, permitting just one run on a Jose Rojas home run in the fifth inning, but was saddled with the no-decision as Seattle's offense didn't get going until late. After sitting out 2020, the 27-year-old concludes the campaign with a 14-6 record in 31 starts with a 3.61 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 125:40 K:BB in 179.2 innings.
