Dee Gordon records fastest triple of 2018, Mariners record 14th win
In the top of the third, with two outs and RyOn Healy at first base, after singling in his first at-bat after returning from the DL, Dee Gordon tripled off of Mike Clevinger. It scored Healy, obviously, to put the Mariners on the board first and sparked a chain reaction, with an RBI double from Jean Segura and an RBI single from Robinson Canó. They’d score just twice more; in the fourth inning, off a Mike Zunino single and, mercifully, in the eighth inning, off a double from Kyle Seager. James Paxton held up his end of the bargain, with 10 strikeouts in 6 innings, and allowing just two runs. Nick Vincent gave up another (fine), and Marc Rzepczynski gave up a run as well (off a double from a lefty - not fine). Juan Nicasio recorded another hitless outing, and Edwin Díaz earned his 11th save.
