Davila

Davila started his outing by plunking Blaze Alexander and giving up an RBI single, but he retired three in a row from there, with Alexander being thrown out at home on a grounder for the second out. Davila got the chance tonight because Andrés Muñoz was unavailable after working the previous two days.

Davila gets the call to replace an injured Cooper Criswell (shoulder) in Seattle’s bullpen ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Orioles. The 27-year-old rookie has reeled off 7 1/3 scoreless frames at the highest level this season.

Davila pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings for the Mariners in his debut season — though he did walk six against just four strikeouts — and figures to be up when circumstances dictate a fresh arm for the Mariners again.

Davila will have a chance to make his MLB debut if/when he gets into a game. The right-hander was an undrafted signee who forged a 2.00 ERA and 10/1 K/BB over nine innings in Double-A. He’ll likely be a low-leverage option in this turn with Seattle.

Davila will be making his first trip to the majors after posting a solid 2.00 ERA and 10/1 K/BB ratio across nine innings for Double-A Arkansas this season. The 27-year-old righty has spent six seasons in the minors after going undrafted.
