MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Dominic Canzone, Josh Naylor and Taylor Ward each drove in
two runs as the Seattle Mariners bounced back from an embarrassing loss by
beating the Milwaukee Brewers 7-5 on Wednesday night.
The Mariners were coming off a 22-0 defeat by major league-best Milwaukee that
matched the largest shutout in baseball's modern era. Seattle never trailed in
this one, scoring seven runs off Dustin May (6-8) in the first two innings.
Seattle improved to 4-4 in a nine-game trip that concludes Thursday.
Milwaukee's Joey Ortiz hit a two-run homer in the second inning and matched a
career high with four RBIs.
May had allowed a total of two runs in his two previous starts since the
Brewers acquired him from St. Louis at the trade deadline.
Brendan Donovan and Randy Arozarena singled to start the game before Calzone
doubled them home. Ward drove in two more with a two-out single.
Julio Rodrguez had a sacrifice fly and Naylor added a two-run single in the
second to make it 7-0. Naylor went 3 for 5.
Seattle's Logan Gilbert (10-7) struck out five and allowed three runs in five
innings. He left after walking the first two batters in the sixth.
Andrs Muoz worked a perfect ninth for his 23rd save in 30 opportunities.
Milwaukee loaded the bases with nobody out in the sixth but only scored on a
sacrifice fly by Ortiz.
Jose A. Ferrer struck out Christian Yelich to strand two runners in the
seventh. The Brewers had runners on the corners with nobody out in the eighth
after Ortiz's RBI single cut Seattle's lead to 7-4, but Cooper Pratt grounded
into a double play and Brice Turang grounded out.
Up next George Kirby (8-9, 3.89 ERA) pitches for Seattle and Robert Gasser (3-5, 4.54) starts for Milwaukee as the series concludes on Thursday. ___ See AP's full MLB coverage here |
