SEATTLE (AP) — Logan Gilbert allowed three hits in 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball, Julio Rodríguez made two highlight defensive plays in the seventh inning to preserve Seattle’s lead, and the Mariners beat the Reds 3-1.
Jonatan Clase had an RBI double in his second major league game and Mitch Haniger added a key two-out RBI single.
But Gilbert was overpowering for most of the night and got help from Rodríguez in the field.
Rodríguez made a running catch deep in left-center and later threw out Elly De La Cruz at third base to end the inning before Jake Fraley could score and keep it a two-run lead for Seattle.
