MLB Makes Historic Seattle Mariners Announcement Sunday After Win vs. Pirates originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Seattle Mariners defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 1-0 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on Sunday, winning their seventh game in ten tries as they shut out manager Don Kelly's team.

Paul Skenes, who was named a National League All-Star on Sunday, started the rubber match of the series in Seattle. He struck out 10 across five scoreless innings before being removed at just 78 pitches. The Pirates surrendered a home run in the sixth inning and lost the game, 1–0.

The Seattle Mariners are poised to be buyers at the MLB trade deadline, hoping to land pieces to upgrade the lineup in the middle of a playoff hunt. For that to happen, many MLB executives believe one of Seattle’s top prospects will be traded.
