Placed on injured list Middleton was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right biceps strain Wednesday.

Lewis, Seager lead Mariners to 5-2 win over Orioles

Kyle Lewis and Kyle Seager homered, reliever Kendall Graveman extended his scoreless streak to 18 2/3 innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2

MAY 5, 2021 • Associated Press

Working on scoreless streak Middleton has fired 5.2 scoreless innings during which he's allowed only one hit while posting a 5:2 K:BB across his last six appearances.

Impact The big right-hander also secured his first hold of the season in his most recent appearance, which consisted of a scoreless two-thirds of an inning versus the Astros on Wednesday. Middleton brings some solid high-leverage experience and a mid-90s fastball to the table, and he's primarily been deployed as a seventh- and eighth-inning asset thus far by manager Scott Servais.

Records second save Middleton picked up the save in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles. He gave up a hit with no walks and no strikeouts in his lone inning of work.

Impact Middleton pitched the seventh inning in Game 2, and while he only tossed 10 of his 17 pitches for strikes, that was enough to get the job done. The 27-year-old right-hander, who allowed a single to Rio Ruiz but recorded the three outs with two groundouts and a flyout to right, has not allowed runs in three of his four appearances this season while going 2-for-2 in save opportunities, so he might be in line for high-leverage duties going forward, though Rafael Montero and Kendall Graveman are ahead of him in the pecking order.

Secures first save Middleton didn't allow a baserunner and had zero strikeouts during a scoreless 10th inning to earn the save Saturday at Minnesota.

Impact The 27-year-old was called upon for the save with Seattle winning 4-3 after closer Rafael Montero and setup man Kendall Graveman were utilized in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively. Middleton made quick work of the Twins and needed only eight pitches to retire the side. Middleton should continue to see high-leverage work, but save opportunities likely will be fleeting while Montero remains effective and healthy.
