base on balls

The first time was intentional, his major league-leading 16th intentional base on balls this season.

Suarez’s base on balls was one of seven on the day for the Mariners, which was taking advantage of a shaky Framber Valdez on the mound.

And Soto played like his elite self, smacking at least one base hit in all three games and, of course, tallying four bases on balls.

Before Tuesday’s start, Adon had walked 23 batters in 32 innings across seven starts and was coming off back-to-back outings with five base on balls allowed.

Adon also walked five in his previous start against the Angels and has allowed three base on balls in five of his seven starts.
