One of the most painful storylines for the Mariners this season has been how little run support they’ve given their stellar rotation, but specifically Logan Gilbert, who has labored thanklessly all season with some of the lowest run support in the league, leading to what should be an airtight argument for killing a pitcher’s win-loss record as any kept stat for good. Tonight the Mariners helped out Gilbert by hitting the magical number three (plus one): as in, the three-plus runs of support Gilbert needs to record a win. He’s now hit his uniform number: 36-0 when the Mariners give him three runs of support or more (that stupid Boston game makes it require the corollary “while he’s in the game”).
