Overview
- Tolle took the mound Sunday and allowed three runs over six innings in a 3-1 loss to the Mariners.
- The 23-year-old left-hander is in his first full big-league season and entered the day 3-4 with a 2.93 ERA after losing his previous two starts.
- Tolle made an emotional Mother’s Day start earlier this season to honor his late mother, Jina, and his father Chad has been a constant presence at key career moments.
- Sunday marked Tolle's first career appearance against Seattle and matched him against Logan Gilbert, who had just come off a seven-inning, one-run outing.
- Boston's lefty starters had combined for two-hitters in the first two games of the series and Tolle's performance will factor into the club's effort to stabilize the rotation as it travels next to Colorado.
