PITTSBURGH -- Francisco Liriano admits there are times when the adrenaline is pumping so hard and his body feels so good its a struggle to take a breath, calm down and just pitch.Times like Tuesday, when the struggling left-hander couldnt find a rhythm or the strike zone. The result for the Pittsburgh Pirates was a 7-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners that marked a significant step back for Liriano after arguably his best start of the season.Liriano squandered an early three-run lead -- one built in part on his second career home run -- and was charged with seven runs in just 3 1/3 innings.The ball is coming out well, I feel strong, I dont know, Liriano said. Just feel too strong and try to do more than what I have.Five days after striking out 13 in a victory over the Brewers without issuing a walk, he struck out three and issued four walks while returning to the wildness that has marked his most difficult season since joining the Pirates in 2013. Liriano threw just 38 of his 72 pitches for strikes and far too often the balls that did make it over the plate were sent to various parts of PNC Park.He couldnt get much down in the zone, Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. What he got in the zone was up pretty much with all three pitches. That takes you to a bad place.Gregory Polanco collected a season-high four hits, including his 13th homer, but the Pirates left nine men on base and went 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position. Pittsburgh jumped on Felix Hernandez (5-4) for four runs in the first two innings and put at least one runner on base in every inning but the ninth.It was a night we had some opportunities to get him and he got away from us, Hurdle said.Kyle Seagers three hits for Seattle included his 20th home run, and Franklin Gutierrez added his 10th off Liriano, who appeared to be in good position after his home run to the bushes in center field in the second put the Pirates up 4-1.Got a good pitch to hit and got a good swing on it, Liriano said. Hit it out and just got lucky.The luck didnt last. Gutierrez led off the third with a drive to the seats in right field and Seager added a two-run shot four batters later. Seattle jumped ahead for good in the fourth on run-scoring hits by Shawn OMalley and Robinson Cano followed by an RBI groundout by Nelson Cruz off reliever Jared Hughes.Pittsburgh catcher Francisco Cervelli took the blame for Lirianos problems, saying he did little to help Liriano out when things took a turn for the worse.I think I can do better because he trusts me, Cervelli said. Its my fault.The Pirates had their chances late, bringing the tying run to the plate in the sixth, seventh and eighth and failing to get even one man across the plate.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: RHP Taijuan Walker (right foot tendinitis) will pitch a simulated game Wednesday in Pittsburgh. It will be the first time he has faced hitters since going on the disabled list July 6. Im expecting him to cut it loose, manager Scott Servais said. ... SS Ketel Marte (mononucleosis) played catch in Seattle in his first baseball activity since he was placed on the DL last Wednesday. Servais said Marte is still regaining his strength after losing eight pounds.Pirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (facial fractures) will pitch for Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday in Gwinnett. Vogelsong, out since May 28 after taking a pitch to the face while batting against Colorado on May 23, left his last start with Indianapolis due to neck stiffness. Hurdle said the plan is for Vogelsong to go seven innings or 95 pitches. ... The Pirates have yet to make a decision on who will start on Friday night in Milwaukee in place of injured RHP Tyler Glasnow (shoulder fatigue).UP NEXTMariners: James Paxton (3-4, 4.18 ERA) will try to back up perhaps his strongest start of the season on Wednesday. Paxton held Toronto to one run in seven innings last Saturday.Pirates: Gerrit Cole (5-6, 2.99 ERA) will try for his first win since May 26. Cole is 0-3 with a 3.96 ERA in his last five starts, which are sandwiched around a stint on the disabled list with a strained right triceps.Tubular Shadow Sko .

However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1.WASHINGTON -- Back when Ryan Harrison participated in the 2011 edition of the hard-court ATP tournament in the nations capital, he was still a teen, still considered the next big thing in American mens tennis, and still talking about wanting to be, in his words at the time, a multiple Grand Slam champion.Harrison lost to Viktor Troicki that week. As it happens, all of these years and hiccups later, Harrison played the same guy again Wednesday at the same event, and this time he won, eliminating the 10th-seeded Troicki of Serbia 7-6 (4), 6-4 to reach the Citi Opens third round as a qualifier.For Harrison, now 24 and nearly a decade into his professional career, it represents the first time hes won back-to-back main-draw matches in 2016. It also represents a real step back in the right direction for someone who reached his career-best ranking of 43rd in 2012 and is now 158th.Mentally, its been an up and down ride over the last couple years, because the hardest thing to do when youve had early success and you hit a speed bump is to let go of the negative. You can dwell on so many things. At so many stages of my career, Ive been angry and irritated. Ive been discouraged. Not depressed in my life, but disappointed with the way that Im playing, Harrison said in an interview after beating Troicki in front of a standing-room-only crowd.You can get in a sulky mode. Everything thats built up from negative moments can creep back in, continued Harrison, who was born in Louisiana and is now based in Texas. The biggest thing for me moving forward is just being who I am today. I know what I can do, I know the level Im capable of playing, and when I do let go of all that stuff then I feel I give myself chances to win. Because I dont doubt myself from an ability standpoint.Harrison converted only three of 22 break points, but he counted it as a positive that he didnt let all the missed chances get to him.When youre in a situation like Im in -- that you havent won a ton oof matches -- it seems like its tough to convert on opportunities.dddddddddddd And its easy to get discouraged. You miss your first couple, and you feel like youve lost the match, he said. For me, the biggest turning point for this week, compared to other weeks, has been when Im not getting that first opportunity, (Im) staying in there and creating more.Next for Harrison is an all-American matchup against fifth-seeded Steve Johnson, who beat Adrian Mannarino of France 6-3, 6-4.Others advancing included top-seeded John Isner, No. 2 Gael Monfils -- who hadnt won a match since early May and said hed missed time on tour recently because of a virus -- No. 3 Bernard Tomic, No. 6 Jack Sock and No. 15 Marcos Baghdatis.In a match between two of the three teens in the ATPs top 100, seventh-seeded Alexander Zverev of Germany saved all five break points he faced and overwhelmed Taylor Fritz of the U.S. 6-4, 6-2. They were born six months apart in 1997, but Zverev brushed off the idea that this was a significant meeting of two members of tennis next generation.It doesnt mean a lot for the future, Zverev said. We both know that theres a lot of improvements to be made for both of us.The third teen in the top 100, Borna Coric, won Wednesday and faces Monfils next.In womens play, wild-card entry Jessica Pegula defeated Christina McHale 7-5, 6-2. Pegula, whose parents own the NFLs Buffalo Bills and NHLs Buffalo Sabres, reached the quarterfinals of a WTA tournament for the first time.McHale, who pushed Serena Williams to three sets at Wimbledon, is the sister of Harrisons fiancee, Lauren.Their wedding date is in next March, which coincides with the closing weekend of the Masters tournament in Miami.So, noted Harrison, sounding as confident as ever, we are hoping to have to reschedule.---Follow Howard Fendrich at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
