Seattle’s 8 1/2-game lead in the AL West is its largest since 2001.
SEATTLE — Logan Gilbert struck out nine and gave up two hits over eight innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 5-0 on Sunday to sweep the series.Rookie Tyler Locklear hit a solo home run to help back Gilbert and help Seattle improve to 12 games over .500. The Mariners have won seven of eight games and nine straight home series."It really feels like a playoff atmosphere in mid-June, which is kind of weird to say," Gilbert said.
"They’ve got a really good staff and you’ve got to find a way to score runs, and we had a tough time."Texas manager Bruce Bochy said the team had not spoken with right-hander Max Scherzer on Sunday following a rehab appearance with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday night. The team planned to talk with the three-time Cy Young Award winner after returning to Texas for this week’s homestand that begins Monday with the New York Mets.
