Athletics Mariners Baseball

Seattle Mariners starter Logan Gilbert can thank his jersey for stopping at least one earned run Wednesday. With a runner on third in the first inning of the Mariners’ 5-4 victory over the Athletics, Carlos Cortes belted a line drive at the Seattle right-hander and the ball somehow lodged in Gilbert’s jersey. Gilbert grabbed at his stomach and turned to locate the ball as Cortes made his way down the first-base line, only to find he in fact caught it in his shirt. Cortes was credited with a single as the play was considered dead, but Nick Kurtz remained at third base. Shea Langeliers advanced to second base.
