Castellanos, Durn and Sheets homer as Padres beat Mariners 7-4
SEATTLE (AP) --- Nick Castellanos hit a three-run homer, Rodolfo Durn went
deep for his first career hit, and Gavin Sheets also connected in the San Diego
Padres' 7-4 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
Walker Buehler (3-2) allowed two runs in five innings as San Diego improved to
5-0 this season against its West Coast rival. The Padres clinched the season
series on Friday to secure the Vedder Cup, named after Pearl Jam frontman Eddie
Vedder, who has ties to both cities.
Durn, a 28-year-old catcher who spent 11 seasons in the minors, hit a two-run
shot in the seventh to end a rough night for Logan Gilbert (2-4). In the ninth,
Durn hit a deep fly to center and Julio Rodrguez made a leaping catch above
the wall to deny the rookie a second homer.
Sheets hit a solo shot in the second inning. After an RBI grounder by Miguel
Andujar in the fourth, Castellanos drove one out to center for his third homer
of the season to make it 5-0.
Gilbert struck out five batters to reach 941 for his career, moving into fifth
on the Mariners' career list. He allowed seven runs on five hits in 6 2/3
innings.
J.P. Crawford homered for Seattle, and Cole Young drove in two runs.
Five relievers followed Buehler, with Jeremiah Estrada working the ninth for
his first save.
