Cincinnati RedsvsSeattle Mariners
CIN 0/SEA 8
Things to say
The Seattle Mariners shut out the Cincinnati Reds 8-0 at T-Mobile Park.
01
opener
Mariners rolled the Reds 8-0 at home. Never really close. Seattle's arms had it locked down from the first inning.
02
key player
Whoever took the ball for Seattle was flat filthy — a shutout is a shutout. Guy got into his stuff early and Cincinnati never touched him.
03
hot take
Reds are a .450 club for a reason. That lineup goes quiet on the road and it's ugly.
04
deep cut
Eight-zip and the Seattle bullpen barely had to work. On a getaway day that's how you save an arm for the weekend.
05
exit
Anyway, Mariners are back to .500 — let's see if they can actually build on it next series.
The recap
Seattle took a bat to Cincinnati and never looked back, rolling to an 8-0 shutout at T-Mobile Park. The Mariners' arm set the tone early and the pen slammed the door, keeping the Reds off the board all night.
Cincinnati never got anything going against the heart of Seattle's staff, going quietly on a getaway day. Clean whitewash, and the M's nudge back over .500 at 51-50.
