Joel Pineiro was solid in a no-decision against the Mariners Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. Given up three runs over six frames against the M's offense is hardly a tremendous feat, but Pineiro hadn't posted a quality start since July 7, so it's certainly a step in the right direction. The veteran's groundball rate is down a bit this year, and his BABIP is up, but he simply hasn't been the same pitcher this season as he's been the last couple years. Pineiro will face the Twins next.
