Jose Leclerc and Aroldis Chapman finished off the Rangers’ 12th shutout of the season.

Mariners starter Logan Gilbert allowed two runs on five hits over 5 2/3 innings, with two strikeouts and four walks. One of those free passes was intentional, but he had entered the game with a 5.69 strikeout-to-walk ratio that was fifth in the majors. He struck out 10 over 6 2/3 innings in a 2-1 loss to the Rangers in May.
