The Seattle Mariners shut out the New York Mets with a 4-0 win on Saturday and secured a series win in the process.
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners secured their 13th shutout of the year and their third series win out of their last five with a 4-0 win against the New York Mets on Saturday. The win improved Seattle's record to 62-56 and kept it even with the Houston Astros in the American League West standings.
The Mariners had one of their toughest outs of the season against Mets starter Sean Manaea — who was coming off two straight starts with double-digit strikeouts. Randy Arozarena paid off his teammate's hustle with an RBI double. Justin Turner brought Arozarena home with an RBI double of his own two at-bats later. Mitch Haniger sent Turner around the bases next with an RBI single.It also was more run support than Seattle has given starting pitcher Logan Gilbert all season.
"Those guys behind me I felt like won the game in the first, ultimately," Gilbert said in a postgame interview Saturday. " ... They did a really good job back there. ... I think the main thing — we were getting ahead so we had more options and more freedom especially the first five innings. So that really gave us a good chance."Turner gave Gilbert a little more run support in the bottom of the seventh with an RBI single that scored Arozarena.
