SEATTLE — Bryce Miller threw six innings and combined with three relievers on Seattle's 12th shutout of the season, Ryan Bliss hit a two-run shot for the second home run of his career and the Mariners beat the New York Mets 6-0 on Friday night.
Seattle's pitching was again terrific, with Miller (9-7) overpowering the Mets before turning it over to the bullpen. And it was a couple of role players at the bottom of the batting order who had the key hits.
Batting eighth in the order, Bliss hit the first pitch he saw from Mets starter Jose Quintana (6-8) an estimated 410 feet into the Seattle bullpen for a two-run homer in the second inning.
