Hector Noesi was lit up for six runs -- four earned -- in two-thirds of an inning by the Padres in Friday's charity game.
Since it was the annual charity game, Noesi's 54.00 ERA won't count in the "official" spring stats. Of course, that shouldn't provide much comfort. Noesi was the favorite to serve as the Mariners' fifth starter before Joe Saunders was signed. He still has an outside shot at the role if Blake Beavan turns in a bad spring, but most likely, he'll head to the bullpen or Triple-A.
