SEATTLE — Seattle Mariners starter Marco Gonzales had pitched one solid game after another in recent weeks with not a lot to show for it because the Mariners weren’t scoring many runs.
On Thursday night, the Mariners scored as many runs in the first three innings (seven) as they had in Gonzales’ previous five starts combined.
Gonzales made sure the offensive support wasn’t wasted, providing another quality start as the Mariners (42-42) opened a four-game series with Toronto with an 8-3 victory.
