and the topps back:

back in seattle, young was once again used as a starter.  he responded with one of his best seasons since his rookie year although it wasn't reflected in his win-loss record of 8-18.  young posted his second lowest career era (3.51) and whip (1.35) and had 7 complete games and 1 shutout.  he averaged 7 innings pitched per game and had decent average run support (3.7 per game) but in 10 of his losses, the mariners scored just 2 runs or fewer.  after the season, young would hit the free agent trail once more...

voici à vous, 1990 matt young!
