SEATTLE (AP) — Rookie Logan Gilbert pitched one-hit ball over seven innings in the best start of his young career, Kyle Seager, Dylan Moore, and Mitch Haniger homered, and the Seattle Mariners beat the New York Yankees 4-0.
Seattle salvaged the final game of the three-game set with the Yankees behind a brilliant effort from the top pitching prospect in the organization. Gilbert was dominant, the only base runner allowed being Giancarlo Stanton’s double leading off the second inning. Luke Voit was hit with a fastball, but the Yankees were otherwise void of baserunners against Gilbert.
Gilbert set a career-high with eight strikeouts and retired the final 18 batters he faced. He's the first Mariners pitcher to throw at least seven innings, strike out at least eight, walk none and allow one or fewer hits since Felix Hernandez's perfect game in 2012.
