Seattle Mariners
Seattle’s 6–1 win in the first game of this series kept it on pace with Toronto and Baltimore, which both won on Friday too.
Luis Castillo got his second win in a Mariners uniform with six shutout innings, giving up five hits and a walk and staying under 100 pitches.
Diego Castillo and Matthew Festa finished out the win without any trouble.
Cal Raleigh homered and drove in four runs. Mitch Haniger had two doubles and drove in two runs himself.
So give Seattle five wins in a row going into Saturday’s second game. If the Mariners keep the winning streak going, this one here will represent the chance at a sweep and seven straight.
George Kirby had not thrown a pitch in the big leagues prior to this season.
He’s brought his ERA down from 4.08 at the end of June to 3.16 going into this start. He hasn’t lost in that span (4–0).
Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians haven’t seen the Mariner’s rookie yet this season, though it’s possible some of them have seen Kirby at lower levels, given just how many young players Cleveland has on its roster.
Yet it still finds itself on top of the AL Central after Chicago beat Minnesota on Friday. The White Sox are now within three but both teams trail the Guardians.
With Zack Plesac and Aaron Civale now on the Injured List, the top three in the rotation — Shane Bieber, Tristan McKenzie, and Cal Quantrill must continue to pitch as they have all season.
Quantrill has the best record in the rotation at 11–5. The son of long-time reliever Paul, Quantrill put up a 150 ERA+ in 149.2 innings last season oh so quietly.
His ERA+ is still solid this season (110) but he won’t hit 150 like he did last season. He will, however top 150 innings for the first time. He needs exactly one more to do that.
