Mariners Stifled by Guardians: A Quiet Night at Progressive Field

The Seattle Mariners, with a record of 44-32, faced off against the Cleveland Guardians, who held a 45-26 record, in what turned out to be a one-sided affair at Progressive Field. The final score read 8-0 in favor of the home team, marking a challenging night for the Mariners.

Throughout the game, the Mariners struggled to find their rhythm at bat. They managed only three hits and failed to score any runs. Despite reaching base on five occasions across nine innings, they could not capitalize on these opportunities. The team's batting average was a mere .103 for the game, with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .161 and slugging percentage (SLG) of .172. Notably, they left eight runners on base and were unsuccessful in all five attempts with runners in scoring position.

The Guardians' pitchers effectively contained the Mariners' lineup. Bryan Woo from Seattle was charged with the loss after allowing three earned runs over four innings pitched. The bullpen didn't fare much better; they surrendered five runs over four innings of work. Overall, Seattle's pitching staff ended up with an earned run average (ERA) of 9.00 for this game and struck out six batters while giving up nine hits.

On defense, both teams played error-free baseball throughout nine innings under sunny skies that later turned partly cloudy as temperatures hovered around 91 degrees Fahrenheit.

For Cleveland's part, their offense was firing on all cylinders from early in the game. They scored consistently through seven innings to build an insurmountable lead against Seattle's pitchers. Tanner Bibee earned his fifth win for Cleveland after delivering an impressive performance that kept Seattle's hitters off balance all night.
