The sound of silence at T-Mobile Park was deafening Tuesday night. For the second consecutive game, the Seattle Mariners' offense was completely shut down by the Milwaukee Brewers, culminating in a dispiriting 6-0 loss. The bats have gone cold at the worst possible time, leaving fans wondering where the spark has gone as the team searches for answers.
The Mariners have now been shut out in consecutive games for the first time this season, a frustrating milestone in a 6-0 loss where they managed just five hits.
Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta was simply untouchable. He carved through the Mariners' lineup for seven dominant innings, striking out 10 and allowing just a handful of baserunners. Seattle's offense, meanwhile, looked lost at sea. Despite getting hits from Cal Raleigh and J.P. Crawford, they couldn't string anything together, leaving seven runners stranded. On the other side, Logan Gilbert battled but couldn't keep the Brewers off the board, surrendering four runs over five innings, with the big blow being a two-run homer by Christian Yelich in the third that set the tone for the night.
This recent skid couldn't come at a worse time. The loss drops the Mariners to 53-48 on the season and, more importantly, a full six games behind the Houston Astros in the AL West. After losing three of their last four, the pressure is mounting. While predictive models still give Seattle a 64% chance of making the postseason, that number will surely shrink if the bats remain dormant. The team is desperately in need of a breakthrough to stop the bleeding and keep pace in a competitive division race.
In an effort to inject some new life into the pitching staff, the Mariners made a move before the game, promoting left-handed reliever Brandyn Garcia from Triple-A Tacoma. Garcia, the club's No. 13 prospect, brings a sparkling 2.16 ERA from his eight appearances with the Rainiers. To make room, rookie righty Juan Burgos was optioned back to Tacoma. The move isn't a surprise, as Burgos was used for two innings in Sunday's loss, and the bullpen needed a fresh arm after a tough series against Houston.
The Mariners have to flush this one quickly. The top priority heading into the next game is simple: score a run. Any run. Breaking this scoreless streak is the first step toward getting back on track and salvaging this series against a tough Brewers team. The division race is far from over, but Seattle needs to wake up its offense now before the gap becomes a chasm.
