Mariners Shut Out Mets 4-0 Again

SEATTLE — In a commanding display of pitching, Logan Gilbert led the Seattle Mariners to a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night, marking the team's 13th shutout of the season, the highest in Major League Baseball. Gilbert delivered seven scoreless innings, allowing only two hits, both to Francisco Lindor. Mariners manager Scott Servais noted that Gilbert's performance was particularly impressive, as he managed to stay ahead of hitters for most of the game, showcasing a deep pitch arsenal. Gilbert's achievement is notable as it marks his fifth start this season with seven or more scoreless innings, the most in the league. He emphasized the importance of being aggressive and trusting his pitches, which allowed him to effectively control the game. The Mariners' bullpen continued the shutout, with reliever Andrés Muñoz extending his hitless streak to 11 appearances. Offensively, Seattle capitalized on Mets starter Sean Manaea's struggles, scoring three runs in the first inning through a combination of three doubles and a single. An additional run came in the seventh inning from an RBI single by Turner, which scored Arozarena. Manaea's performance was disappointing, as he managed only three innings, his shortest outing since May 2022. In roster news, the Mariners recalled right-handed pitcher Troy Taylor from Double-A Arkansas, where he had an impressive 1.17 ERA and 16 saves in 29 games, while optioning RHP Eduard Bazardo to Triple-A Tacoma.
