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."
