CONGRATULATIONS ° Logan Gilbert Finally Make The Seattle Mariners Proud

Philadelphia Phillies Shut Out Seattle Mariners In Series Finale

The Philadelphia Phillies scored five runs in the eighth inning and starter Zack Wheeler had nine strikeouts in eight innings pitched in the series finale against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.

The Seattle Mariners had a good series up until Sunday. They won the first two against one of the best teams in baseball — the Philadelphia Phillies — and regained sole possession of first-place in the American League West.

But Philadelphia wasn’t content leaving Seattle without a win and shut out the Mariners 6-0 on Sunday. The loss dropped Seattle to 59-54 this season.

The Phillies wasted no time getting things started and Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run three pitches into the game.

And that was about it for a while.

Aside from a couple amazing catches from Victor Robles in the top of the seventh, neither team had many highlights aside from a stellar pitching battle.
