Philadelphia PhilliesvsSeattle Mariners
PHI 6/SEA 0
Things to say
The Phillies shut out the Mariners 6-0 on the road at T-Mobile Park.
01
opener
Phillies took it 6-0 up in Seattle. Total wire-to-wire job. Mariners never got anything going, put up a goose egg.
02
key player
Whoever Philly ran out there was filthy — the Mariners' heart of the order couldn't touch him. That was a starter's game all the way.
03
hot take
Six-nothing but honestly that's more on Seattle's bats than the Phillies pitching. That lineup's been ice cold.
04
deep cut
Getaway day at T-Mobile and the Mariners bullpen never even mattered — pen sat there watching a shutout on the other side.
05
exit
Mariners are hovering under .500 at 64-70, gonna be a long September. Anyway, let's see if Philly keeps rolling.
The recap
Phillies rolled into T-Mobile Park and slammed the door, 6-0 on a getaway day. Their starter clearly got into his stuff early and cruised, and by the time the bullpen mopped up the Mariners never sniffed a run.
Seattle's bats went ice cold with runners on, and Philly's heart of the order kept the line moving all afternoon. Clean shutout, another notch for a Phillies club now sitting comfortably at 74-60.
