The Mariners managed just four hits, all singles, and struck out 12 times, continuing a recent struggle at the plate that concerns manager Scott Servais.
“We haven’t done much offensively in the last two or three days,’’ he said. “For whatever reason, we’re getting in good counts and not taking advantage of that, chasing a lot of balls, and strikeouts have been up.

One of the Mariners’ hits was by Guillermo Heredia, making his first start in left field after offseason shoulder surgery.
