Seattle Mariners Beat Brewers in Pitching Duel
In a game marked by brilliance from the mound and a crucial home run, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Milwaukee Brewers with a score of 1-0, ending the Brewers’ 11-game winning streak.
Cal Raleigh hit his 39th home run of the season, leading Major League Baseball in this statistic. For his part, Logan Gilbert pitched 6 and a third innings without allowing runs, consolidating his performance in the game.
Raleigh’s hit, who hadn’t hit a home run since July 11 against the Detroit Tigers, was a fly ball that cleared the right field fence, off a pitch from Brewers pitcher Nick Mears.
Gilbert maintained perfection until the fifth inning, allowing only two singles. The right-handed pitcher accumulated 10 strikeouts without walks, using only 86 pitches before leaving in the seventh inning, receiving a standing ovation.
Brewers’ rookie Jacob Misiorowski also had a standout performance, striking out seven batters in 3 and two-thirds innings, allowing three hits and one walk. It was after Misiorowski’s exit that the Mariners managed to score the run that defined the game, setting the stage for closer Andrés Muñoz, who earned his 22nd save of the season.
With this victory, the Mariners have three 1-0 wins so far this season, tying with the Rangers and Pirates for third place in MLB in this statistic, only surpassed by the San Diego Padres (5) and the New York Yankees (4).
The Brewers’ 11-game winning streak was two wins away from tying the longest winning streak of the season, currently held by the Minnesota Twins, who achieved 13 consecutive victories between May 3 and May 19.
