The Seattle Mariners have been on a roll lately, and their latest victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks was no exception. Led by the impressive performance of rookie pitcher Logan Gilbert, the Mariners were able to secure a 5-2 win.
Gilbert, who was drafted in the first round of the 2018 MLB Draft, has been a pleasant surprise for the Mariners this season. He has been a consistent presence in the rotation, and his performance against the Diamondbacks was no different. He pitched seven strong innings, giving up just two runs on five hits while striking out six batters. Gilbert also displayed excellent control, walking just one batter.
The Mariners’ offense was also key to their victory, as they scored five runs off of nine hits. Designated hitter Tim Lopes led the way with two hits and two RBIs, while catcher Tom Murphy added a solo home run.
The Mariners’ win over the Diamondbacks was their fifth in a row, and it was largely due to the impressive performance of Gilbert. His ability to keep the Diamondbacks off balance and limit their offensive production was key to the Mariners’ success. With Gilbert continuing to impress, the Mariners look poised to make a run at the playoffs this season.
