The Seattle Mariners secured a 7-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night at T-Mobile Park. The win snapped the Mariners’ six-game losing streak and ensured they won their second series in a row. Seattle pitcher Logan Gilbert bounced back from a rocky start in the first inning and retired the next 15 consecutive hitters. Gilbert’s performance earned him his second win of the season. He allowed two runs on four hits with nine strikeouts in six innings. He also credited catcher Tom Murphy for helping him adjust his pitches throughout the game.
Seattle’s offense was led by Eugenio Suárez, who hit a two-run homer, his fifth homer in 13 games for the Mariners. J.P. Crawford also contributed with two hits, including a run-scoring single in Seattle’s three-run fourth. In the same inning, Taylor Trammell drove in a run with a single off Michael Tonkin.
In the fifth inning, Teoscar Hernández’s single drove in Jarred Kelenic, putting the Mariners ahead 5-2. Eugenio Suárez added a homer in the seventh inning to stretch the lead to five runs. Meanwhile, the Braves committed three errors, including two by Ronald Acuña Jr. Jesse Chavez started the game for the Braves and allowed only one hit in 2 1/3 scoreless innings.
The Braves will be looking to avoid a sweep and their first series loss against the Mariners since 2011 in Sunday’s final game of the series. The Braves have struggled in their last three bullpen games, falling to 0-3. With a depleted rotation, manager Brian Snitker is looking for help from 20-year-old right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver.
