Padres pitchers stifle Mariners, clinch Vedder Cup momentum
Read, Watch or Listen
Seattle — Randy Vásquez delivered six shutout innings, scattering four hits and not allowing a runner to advance past second as the San Diego Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 2-0 on Friday night. The right-hander (5-1) gave up only one extra-base hit, a fifth-inning double by Cole Young, and has not allowed an earned run in three of his nine starts this season. Miguel Andújar provided the run with an RBI double, and Mason Miller worked four outs to record the save, his major-league leading 14th of the season, preserving the shutout. Vásquez's command and Miller's late relief combined to stifle the Mariners' offense, as San Diego held Seattle scoreless and secured the 2-0 victory.
