Seattle Mariners Pitching Staff Cruises into History Books With Dominant Series vs. Pirates
In this story:
The Seattle Mariners swept the Pittsburgh Pirates over the holiday at weekend at T-Mobile Park, winning by the scores of 6-0, 1-0, and 1-0.
While offense was scarce on Saturday and Sunday, the M's got six dominant innings from Bryan Woo on Friday, seven from Luis Castillo on Saturday and 6.1 from George Kirby on Sunday.
The bullpen was also lights out, with Matt Brash getting a hold on Saturday, Gabe Speier on Sunday and Andres Munoz earning saves both days.
The performances put the Mariners in the record books for a multitude of reasons, as evidenced by Sarah Langs of MLB.com:
the Mariners did not allow a run in this series
there have now been 36 instances of a team shutting out its opponents for an entire series of 3+ games since 1901
1st by SEA
