SEATTLE (AP) — Logan Gilbert threw seven scoreless innings and combined with two relievers on Seattle’s major league-best 13th shutout of the season as the Mariners beat the New York Mets 4-0 on Saturday night.
Gilbert was dominant allowing just three hits and followed what Bryce Miller did in the series opener on Friday when he threw six shutout innings. Gilbert allowed a leadoff single to Francisco Lindor then didn’t give up another hit until Lindor’s single in the sixth inning.
Gilbert (7-8) struck out six and walked only one batter to pick up his first victory since July 9. It was his fifth start of the season throwing seven or more scoreless innings, the most in the majors.
Yimi García and Andrés Muñoz pitched the final two innings as Seattle snapped a tie with Philadelphia, Atlanta and Boston for most shutouts this season. Muñoz has not allowed a hit in his last 11 appearances.
