The Seattle Mariners defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-0, driven by Logan Gilbert’s dominant pitching and a big offensive burst led by Randy Arozarena. Gilbert allows one hit and records seven strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings, giving the Blue Jays no sustained opportunities. On offense, Seattle scores early and adds to its lead throughout the game, including a grand slam by Arozarena that helps push the margin well beyond reach. Cal Raleigh and Dominic Canzone also hit home runs for the Mariners.
Sources also note that Seattle had initially planned a “piggyback” approach for the series, with Gilbert and Emerson Hancock sharing pitching responsibilities. However, the Mariners make a decision before the game and have Gilbert start Saturday, while Hancock is scheduled to pitch Sunday instead. The combined result is a lopsided win in which the Mariners’ pitching performance limits Toronto to just one hit while their lineup posts multiple extra-base hits.
