SEATTLE -- A simple tip from veteran pitcher Bartolo Colon came up big for Rangers rookie right-hander Ariel Jurado on Thursday night.
Colon told Jurado to start mixing a "four-seam" fastball in with his sinker. Jurado listened to his mentor and ended up throwing six scoreless innings in a 2-0 victory over the Mariners on Thursday night. Jurado combined with Matt Moore, Connor Sadzeck and closer Jose Leclerc on a three-hitter for the Rangers fifth shutout of the season.
"Jurado was outstanding, the bullpen was great," Rangers manager Don Wakamatsu said.
