ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Logan Gilbert allowed only two hits pitching into the seventh inning, Julio Rodríguez hit his first homer and the Seattle Mariners beat Texas 4-0 on Tuesday night, knocking the World Series champion Rangers out of first place for the first time this season.
Gilbert (2-0) struck out six and walked four while throwing 100 pitches over 6 2/3 innings. It was the franchise-record 11th game in a row for the Mariners in which their starter pitched at least five innings and allowed two earned runs or less.
“That’s a typical Mariners game right there, a couple homers and great pitching. And you look up and we’re on the right side of it,” manager Scott Servais said.
“There’s always stuff to clean up, but I think my mentality is good. I’m trying to simplify things and know what makes me successful,” Gilbert said, while crediting catcher Cal Raleigh. “Cal does a really good job mixing it up, and especially with the cutter and slider and just everything when to go to what pitches, and kind of helps me out different times through the order as well.”
