An overpowering outing from rookie Logan Gilbert, two shutdown innings from the Seattle bullpen, and three Mariners home runs negated a quality start from Jordan Montgomery today at T-Mobile Park. The 4-0 loss prevented the Yankees from completing the series sweep and also ended New York’s three-game win streak on an eerily quiet note.
It had been noted both on our PSA game preview and on the YES Network pregame show that Montgomery has been excellent at generating weak contact. Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager clearly didn’t get the memo, evidenced by his 105-mph laser over the center-field wall in the top of the first inning.
