SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff home run, Jacob deGrom threw four shutout innings and Gavin Collyer earned his first career win as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 5-0 on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Seattle lost its fourth straight game, and was shut out for the fourth time in 21 games, falling to 8-13. The Mariners were shut out six times during the 2025 season. Texas won its third straight game.<\/p>\n
Nimmo led off the game with a 372-foot shot to right field off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (1-3). It was Nimmo\u2019s 16th career leadoff homer and second of the season. He also hit a leadoff home run on April 11 in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n
DeGrom effectively maneuvered through Seattle\u2019s lineup, and worked out of a one out, bases-loaded jam in the first inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner recorded two of his three strikeouts after walking Josh Naylor to load the bases. Randy Arozarena fanned on a curveball, and Luke Raley swung through a fastball.<\/p>\n
Texas added to its lead after Nimmo\u2019s homer. Wyatt Langford’s single to left scored Corey Seager, who led off the third inning with a double. The Rangers stretched the lead to 3-0 on an RBI single from Jake Burger in the seventh.<\/p>\n
The Mariners\u2019 best scoring chance came in the sixth after Collyer (1-0), who worked 1 1\/3 scoreless innings, left the game.<\/p>\n
J.P. Crawford singled to left off Tyler Alexander with two out, and Mariners third base coach Carlos Cardoza sent Naylor from second base, but he was thrown out by Langford.<\/p>\n
Texas added two more runs in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Andrew McCutchen and an RBI double by Josh Jung.<\/p>\n
Seattle third baseman Brendan Donovan left the game early due to a left hip issue.<\/p>\n
Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller, who started the year on the injured list with a left oblique injury, was at T-Mobile Park for the first time this season. He will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Mariners RHP George Kirby (2-2, 3.25) will face Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.40) on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff home run, Jacob deGrom threw four shutout innings and Gavin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[76304,32775,91567,96230,96228,40381,96229,91527,91572,53311,39086,39085,92055,91060,96232,941,23681,202,196,42094,942,200,78829,91526,82,84,83,96231],"class_list":{"0":"post-255380","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-andrew-mccutchen","9":"tag-brandon-nimmo","10":"tag-brendan-donovan","11":"tag-bryce-miller","12":"tag-carlos-cardoza","13":"tag-corey-seager","14":"tag-gavin-collyer","15":"tag-george-kirby","16":"tag-j-p-crawford","17":"tag-jacob-degrom","18":"tag-jake-burger","19":"tag-josh-jung","20":"tag-josh-naylor","21":"tag-logan-gilbert","22":"tag-luke-raley","23":"tag-nathan-eovaldi","24":"tag-package-100024-ap-online","25":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","26":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","27":"tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","28":"tag-product-40815-ap-texas-sports-only","29":"tag-product-40820-ap-washington-state-sports-only","30":"tag-randy-arozarena","31":"tag-rangers-mariners-score","32":"tag-san-antonio","33":"tag-san-antonio-headlines","34":"tag-san-antonio-news","35":"tag-tyler-alexander"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
