SEATTLE — Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff home run, Jacob deGrom threw four shutout innings and Gavin Collyer earned his first career win as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 5-0 on Friday night. <\/p>\n
Seattle lost its fourth straight game, and was shut out for the fourth time in 21 games, falling to 8-13. The Mariners were shut out six times during the 2025 season. Texas won its third straight game. <\/p>\n
Nimmo led off the game with a 372-foot shot to right field off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (1-3). It was Nimmo\u2019s 16th career leadoff homer and second of the season. He also hit a leadoff home run on April 11 in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n DeGrom effectively maneuvered through Seattle\u2019s lineup, and worked out of a one out, bases-loaded jam in the first inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner recorded two of his three strikeouts after walking Josh Naylor to load the bases. Randy Arozarena fanned on a curveball, and Luke Raley swung through a fastball.<\/p>\n Texas added to its lead after Nimmo\u2019s homer. Wyatt Langford’s single to left scored Corey Seager, who led off the third inning with a double. The Rangers stretched the lead to 3-0 on an RBI single from Jake Burger in the seventh.<\/p>\n The Mariners\u2019 best scoring chance came in the sixth after Collyer (1-0), who worked 1 1\/3 scoreless innings, left the game.<\/p>\n J.P. Crawford singled to left off Tyler Alexander with two out, and Mariners third base coach Carlos Cardoza sent Naylor from second base, but he was thrown out by Langford.<\/p>\n Texas added two more runs in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Andrew McCutchen and an RBI double by Josh Jung. <\/p>\n Seattle third baseman Brendan Donovan left the game early due to a left hip issue. <\/p>\n Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller, who started the year on the injured list with a left oblique injury<\/a>, was at T-Mobile Park for the first time this season. He will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n Mariners RHP George Kirby (2-2, 3.25) will face Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.40) on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n
