Mariners Pitch Three Straight Shutouts, First in Franchise History
The Seattle Mariners achieved a historic feat by shutting out the Pittsburgh Pirates in three consecutive games for the first time in franchise history, including back-to-back 1-0 wins. Star pitcher George Kirby led the charge with multiple quality starts, delivering scoreless innings and striking out numerous batters, while the bullpen, including Carlos Vargas, Gabe Speier, and Andrés Muñoz, preserved the shutouts. Offensively, Randy Arozarena was pivotal, hitting a crucial solo home run in the series finale and marking his sixth homer in seven games. The Pirates, despite strong pitching performances from Mike Burrows and Paul Skenes, struggled offensively throughout the series, continuing a pattern of road losses. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh also stood out by matching Ken Griffey Jr.'s Seattle record for home runs before the All-Star break, contributing two homers in a dominant 6-0 win earlier in the series. This series marked an unusual MLB first where one team shut out an opponent in three games and then was shut out in the following three-game series.
