Anderson Tosses 7 Shutout Innings, Mariners Beat Rockies 2-1 to Avoid Elimination
Anderson allowed 3 hits and struck out 7 as Seattle kept its postseason hopes alive with a one-run win.
On Sunday, rookie Kade Anderson threw seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies in Denver, keeping Seattle's postseason hopes alive.
Bouncing back from his worst outing, Anderson struck out a career-high seven batters while issuing zero walks, utilizing 84 total pitches with 61 strikes to navigate the Rockies' lineup.
Dominic Canzone drove in both Mariners runs, first with an RBI single in the fourth that scored Randy Arozarena, followed by a sixth-inning double that brought home J.P. Crawford.
Closer Andres Munoz exited in the ninth with an apparent knee injury after surrendering a solo home run to Hunter Goodman, allowing Eduardo Bazardo to earn his first save.
With the victory, Seattle gained a game on the Texas Rangers in the AL West, while Colorado moved one loss closer to its fourth consecutive 100-loss season; the Mariners open their final homestand against the Astros on Tuesday.
