On Wednesday at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Athletics 9-1 to complete a series sweep and move into first place in the AL West.

Pitcher Logan Gilbert threw six shutout innings with six strikeouts on 91 pitches, while Athletics starter Jeffrey Spring surrendered five runs on six hits in five innings.
With the sweep complete, Seattle moved a half-game ahead of Oakland in the AL West division, though Jonah Heim scored the Athletics' lone run on a Jeff McNeil groundout in the ninth.
The Mariners face the Diamondbacks on Friday with RHP George Kirby starting, while the Athletics host the Yankees with RHP Luis Severino on the mound.
