They couldn\u2019t hit Yankees ace Max Fried.<\/p>\n
They didn\u2019t pitch particularly well.<\/p>\n
And they looked disoriented at times on defense.<\/p>\n
Other than all that, a banner day for the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n
Six games in, the Mariners had their first blah performance of the season in a forgettable 5-0 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday night before a crowd of 32,790 at T-Mobile Park.<\/p>\n
The Mariners had little chance against Fried, the veteran left-hander signed last year to a $218 million deal. Just two Mariners \u2013 a Julio Rodr\u00edguez walk and a Josh Naylor single \u2013 reached base through the first six innings, and they didn\u2019t advance a runner past first until there were two outs in the seventh.<\/p>\n
Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch and Brendan Donovan followed with a broken-bat single, the Mariners\u2019 first \u2013 and only \u2013 mini-threat against Fried, who then got Victor Robles to fly out to end the seventh inning.<\/p>\n
And that concludes your Mariners \u201chighlights\u201d for the night.<\/p>\n
In a series pitting two World Series hopefuls, the Mariners won the opener Monday night, 2-1, on Cal Raleigh\u2019s walk-off single.<\/p>\n
The Yankees (4-1) were in control from the jump Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
For the rubber match Wednesday afternoon, the Mariners (3-3) will turn to George Kirby. The Yankees will counter with Cam Schlittler, their 25-year-old flame-throwing right-hander.<\/p>\n
Logan Gilbert, in his second start, was tagged for five runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings, with three walks and six strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Gilbert pitched better than his final line would indicate. He gave up a hard-luck blooper off Giancarlo Stanton\u2019s bat that gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but Gilbert did leave a hanging splitter over the plate that Stanton hammered for an 112.8-mph RBI double in the sixth inning to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n
That was Gilbert\u2019s final pitch.<\/p>\n
Cole Wilcox came in and surrendered a sharp single to Jazz Chisholm Jr., extending the Yankees\u2019 lead to five.<\/p>\n
Gilbert did make Aaron Judge look human for one night. That\u2019s no small feat.<\/p>\n
Judge struck out twice and grounded out to Leo Rivas for a 6-3 double play.<\/p>\n
Gilbert, though, lacked his usual command, and eventually the Yankees wore him down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They couldn\u2019t hit Yankees ace Max Fried.
