CLEVELAND (AP) --- Cooper Ingle had a two-run single for his first major league
hit, Slade Cecconi pitched six shutout innings and the Cleveland Guardians beat
the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Saturday night.
Ingle, who was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to make his debut Friday, sent a
sharp grounder to right in the three-run fourth to plate Kyle Manzardo and
Khalil Watson. Cleveland had opened the scoring one batter earlier on Watson's
double.
Brayan Rocchio added an RBI double in the fifth off Mariners starter Logan
Gilbert (6-5), extending the Guardians' lead to 4-0. Travis Bazzana scored
twice and had a pair of hits, while Watson has driven in eight runs in the last
five games.
American League West leader Seattle pulled within 4-3 in the eighth on Randy
Arozarena's three-run homer off Shawn Armstrong. The 427-foot shot to center
brought home Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone.
Cecconi (4-6), who struck out four and scattered three hits, was lifted
following a leadoff walk to Cal Raleigh in the seventh. Cade Smith put two
baserunners on in the ninth before earning his major league-leading 25th save.
Gilbert lost for the first time since May 16, allowing four runs in a season
high-tying seven innings.
The Guardians are 4-7 since seven-time All-Star third baseman Jos Ramrez
(left hamate bone fracture), Chase DeLauter (rib fracture) and Angel Martnez
(left foot fracture) all were injured on June 13 against Detroit.
Ramrez visited the clubhouse before the game and told reporters, "I want to
play, bro." He underwent surgery to remove the hook of the hamate and could
return by late July.
Up next
Mariners RHP Emerson Hancock (5-4, 3.60 ERA) faces Guardians RHP Gavin Williams
(9-4, 3.82 ERA) in the three-game series finale. Hancock was initially
scheduled to pitch bulk relief behind Gilbert, but manager Dan Wilson bumped
him back a day.
