Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby regrets one pitch from Friday night and didn\'t even want to be on the mound when it happened.
Kirby gave up a game-tying two-run homer to Tampa Bay\'s René Pinto in the seventh inning on what was his 102nd and final pitch of the game.
\"I wish I wasn\'t out there for the seventh [inning], to be honest,\" Kirby said after the game.
\"I was at 90 pitches,\" Kirby explained, \"and I didn\'t think I really could go any more. But it is what it is.\"
