The Boston Red Sox gave Seattle Mariners starter Logan Gilbert one of the worst starts of his career on Monday; Here's a deep-dive into what went wrong for the Seattle All-Star.
One could be forgiven for looking at the score of Monday's game between the Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners and confusing it for a football game.Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert let up seven earned runs to the Red Sox in the third inning. It was the third-most allowed by the 2024 All-Star in his career. Gilbert was done after just 2.2 innings pitched — the second quickest pull of his career.
A lot of fans mentioned the at-bat against Wilyer Abreu as the pivotal point in the game. And understandably so. He probably should've gotten out of it unscathed, after a 1-2, in-zone fastball was called a ball in that 12-pitch battle with Wilyer Abreu.Abreu hit an RBI single on the 12th pitch. After that — Gilbert allowed a two-run home run, a double, an RBI double and then was pulled. Boston hit its fourth-straight double off reliever Trent Thornton. That dinged Gilbert for his seventh earned run of the game.
It's hard for any pitcher — All-Star or not — to have a good outing when an entire pitch is off the board. The amount of pitches Gilbert threw in the third also started to reduce the effectiveness of the rest of his arsenal. His slider and splitter dropped roughly three miles an hour each in the third compared to the first inning.
