A daily look at the Mariners in spring training:
Pineiro pitched six innings and allowed three hits in the Mariners’ 4-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, five days after a line drive left his pitching elbow swollen and bruised.
The only hard-hit balls he allowed cleared the fence for Brewers home runs, but Pineiro otherwise pitched well and without residue from early in the week.
“Everything was great,” Pineiro said. “No pain. Nothing.”
Pineiro struck out six and reached his pitch count of 85 pitches. He will get one more exhibition start, against the San Diego Padres on Thursday in the final game in Arizona, and is scheduled to throw 100-105 pitches.
Pineiro will start the second game of the regular season April 7 at Safeco Field against the Anaheim Angels.
