Mariners rout Blue Jays 11-0 as Logan Gilbert allows 1 hit over 7 1/3 innings
Gilbert allowed one hit over 7 1/3 innings, and Seattle scored five runs in the second inning to back Arozarena’s ninth homer.
On Saturday, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 11-0, with Logan Gilbert allowing one hit over 7 1/3 innings and Randy Arozarena hitting a grand slam.
The Mariners abandoned their planned 'piggyback' pitching blueprint, opting to start Gilbert instead of sharing duties with Emerson Hancock, while Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber allowed seven runs on six hits.
During a five-run second inning, Seattle sent nine batters to the plate, with Cal Raleigh and Dominic Canzone adding home runs to build an early advantage.
Blue Jays reliever Adam Macko surrendered three hits and a run, while Myles Straw tossed a perfect eighth inning with pitches ranging from 38 mph to 61 mph.
The teams conclude their series on Sunday with Toronto RHP Trey Yesavage facing Seattle RHP Emerson Hancock in the finale.
