The last pitch he threw on Friday night cost right-hander Brandon Morrow a possible no-hitter, but not his first Major League win as a starter, as the Mariners beat the Yankees, 3-1, at Safeco Field.
Morrow, making his first career start following two seasons as a reliever, held the Yankees hitless for 7 2/3 innings before pinch-hitter Wilson Betemit doubled over right fielder Ichiro Suzuki’s head in right-center.
The hit came on Morrow’s 106th pitch of the game, about 10 more than he was supposed to throw.

The M's handling of Morrow has been very silly. He should have been groomed as a starter from...the start. Despite the lack of starting experience in the last 2 or so years, Morrow was still throwing mid to high 90s until the very end. Obviously a ridiculously talented young pitcher. He and Felix could make a nice 1-2 punch for the next couple seasons.
Morrow looked awesome by the way. He threw three different pitches consistently for first pitch strikes, had good separation between the FB and off speed stuff, and got tons of comically bad misses by the Yankees.
