Strong start wasted Flexen allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out five across seven innings Thursday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision. Impact Flexen held the Rangers' lineup in check throughout the start, as the lone extra-base hit he surrendered was a solo home run by Adolis Garcia. Otherwise, he pitched efficiently and completed seven innings for the first time in his last five outings. He exited the game with a 6-2 lead, though that margin margin was squandered by the Mariners' bullpen, ultimately costing Flexen a win. After this effort, Flexen has a 3.65 ERA with 90 strikeouts across 133.1 innings on the campaign.
