The Mariners roughed up Aaron Civale early and late and Cleveland’s lineup couldn’t muster much of a response, leading to a 7-3 drubbing at the hands of Seattle on Friday night. Seattle pummeled Cleveland at the plate, racking up eight extra-base hits on the night.
Civale’s first mistake came in the first inning when he served up a meatball on a 3-2 count to Kyle Seager, who deposited it into the bleachers in right center field to spot Seattle a 1-0 lead. In the third, Sam Haggerty reached on an infield single before Jarred Kelenic caught a splitter in the bottom of the zone, recording his first career big league hit with a two-run homer to make it 3-0.
