Mariners rout Blue Jays 11-0 as Logan Gilbert allows 1 hit over 7 1/3 innings

SEATTLE (AP) --- Logan Gilbert gave up one hit and struck out seven in 7 1/3
innings, Randy Arozarena hit a grand slam, and the Seattle Mariners beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 11-0 on Saturday.
Cal Raleigh and Dominic Canzone also homered for the Mariners.
The Mariners planned on having Gilbert and Emerson Hancock share pitching
duties in Saturday's game as part of a "piggyback" blueprint they've
implemented this season, but they decided before the game to and have Gilbert
start Saturday, with Hancock getting the ball Sunday.
Gilbert (7-5) retired his first 14 batters before Yohendrik Piango blooped a
single to center field with two outs in the fifth inning. Gilbert got the next
eight hitters out before being removed at 91 pitches. He did not walk a batter.
He got all the run support he'd need when the Mariners sent nine to the plate
against Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber (0-1) in a five-run second inning.
Bieber retired the first two hitters, but Cole Young doubled and Victor Robles
singled him in to give Seattle a 1-0 lead. Colt Emerson followed with a single
and J.P. Crawford walked to load the bases before Arozarena's ninth homer of
the year.
Bieber, who was making his third start of the season after being out until late
June with right elbow inflammation, pitched into the fifth inning but departed
after giving up a two-run homer to Canzone. He gave up seven runs on six hits.
Blue Jays reliever Adam Macko allowed three hits and a run in the sixth inning
before being replaced by Tommy Nance, who promptly surrendered a three-run
homer to Raleigh.
Blue Jays outfielder Myles Straw threw a perfect bottom of the eighth with
pitches that ranged between 38 mph and 61 mph.

The teams meet in the series finale Sunday, with Toronto RHP Trey Yesavage
(4-3, 3.34) taking on Seattle RHP Emerson Hancock (5-4, 3.47).
