Logan Gilbert pitches 6 strong innings as Mariners stop 6-game skid with 1-0 win over Yankees
Seattle Mariners overcame a six-game slump with a 1-0 triumph over the New York Yankees on Thursday night. Star pitcher Logan Gilbert earned the win after pitching a solid six innings. Combined with three relievers, Gilbert delivered a four-hitter, contributing to the Mariners' sixth win in their last 21 games.
Weston Wilson opened the scoring in the second inning, launching a home run off Max Fried, who had been pitching well at 4-4. Seattle's offense remained limited, as the team batted just four hits throughout the game.
Logan Gilbert dominated the Yankees, striking out seven batters while only issuing one walk. Two of Gilbert's strikeouts were accomplished through successful ABS (Automatic Ball Strike) challenges. Trent Grisham and Spencer Jones were both retired by Gilbert's splitter pitches, which were initially called ball four by the plate umpire.
The Mariners' victory moved them within five games of the American League West-leading Astros, who they will face in a weekend series at Houston. Gilbert's performance secured this win, ending a six-game losing streak that had not been matched since 2020.
