Nestor Cortes continues to impress for Mariners, but four Angels pitchers combine to shut out Seattle

The Mariners mustered just four hits and were shut out by a quartet of Angels pitchers, who combined to strike out nine batters and walk two. The game took just 2 hours and 31 minutes, which is beyond quick for spring-training games.

Seattle did have a few opportunities to push a run across, but couldn’t come up with a hit with runners in scoring position, going 0-for-5 in those situations.

Starter Justin Dunn pitched 1 2/3 innings, allowing a run on a two-out “double” on a fly ball that Jake Fraley lost in the sun. The Angels’ other run came off a Justin Upton RBI single off Yoshihisa Hirano in the seventh inning.
