SEATTLE -- A poor outing from Wade Miley in his return from the disabled list was only the start of a bad night for the Seattle Mariners.Miley lasted just four innings, getting knocked around for five runs in Seattles 8-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates to close out the brief two-game interleague series. But Seattles issues went well beyond Mileys problem with leaving pitches up and over the plate.Seattle will lose backup catcher Steve Clevenger for an extended period with a broken right hand after he took a foul ball square on the exposed hand off the bat of Andrew McCutchen. And that came before the Mariners committed three errors and had reliever Donn Roach give up a three-run double to Sean Rodriguez in the fifth inning that broke the game open.Not our finest performance, obviously, Seattle manager Scott Servais said.Rodriguez finished with four RBI and David Freese added a solo home run on the first pitch of the second inning as Mileys return unraveled quickly. Miley (6-4) had not pitched since June 12 after a brief stint on the disabled list due to an impingement in his left shoulder. He was lucky to make it through the fourth, leaving pitches up in the strike zone and watching them get hit hard.Command is the biggest thing. Im throwing strikes, just not commanding the ball, because everything is middle, Miley said. Not being able to get the breaking balls down. I had a couple counts where I was 1-2, tried to bounce a breaking ball and I left them over the plate, and it they hammered them. Thats on me. That entire game, thats on me. Not a good tempo and just let it get away.Roach struggled when he took over in the fifth, giving up two hits and a walk before Rodriguezs double into the left-field corner to clear the bases and give Pittsburgh an 8-0 lead. That inning also included the first of Kyle Seagers two errors. Robinson Cano also had an error losing the grip transferring the ball from his glove to his hand.Weve played sloppy, quite frankly, at times. The amount of errors weve made is concerning, especially in the last month, Servais said. We got to tighten it up. Those arent difficult plays. They are plays are guys know should be made.The offensive support was more than enough for Pittsburgh rookie Jameson Taillon. Making his fifth career start, Taillon (2-1) overcame a shaky first inning and retired 10 straight at one point. He struck out six and didnt allow a walk.Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle thought Taillons best pitches were his final ones to get Nelson Cruz and Seager to finish off the sixth.Even though the game is 8-1, I dont want to give up those runs, Taillon said. I wanted to really put the foot on the gas there and set the tone still. I knew I was close to being done so I let them eat and was aggressive with them.BROKEN HANDClevenger fractured the third metacarpal, and Seattle will require a roster move to fill the backup catcher role. Clevenger is scheduled to see a hand specialist on Thursday.It hit me pretty square, he said. I was on the ground because I couldnt move my arm too much. It hurt. Like I said, its pretty frustrating.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: Seattle placed reliever Nick Vincent on the 15-day disabled list with a back strain to clear a spot for Miley.
