base runner

Given the early run support, Miller cruised through the first four innings, allowing just one base runner on a one-out walk to Kyle Tucker in the first inning.

Veteran right-hander Ryne Stanek, who was supposed to fill some of the leverage situations that would’ve belonged to Matt Brash, has struggled to not allow base runners for much of the season.

It appeared Gilbert had erased the base runner in similar fashion to the second and fifth inning when Pasquantino hit a ground ball to second baseman Josh Rojas.

With Woo cruising through the first four innings, allowing just the two base runners, the Mariners offense got going when the lineup faced A’s starter Paul Blackburn for the second time in the game.

His only base runners came on four walks, and he also struck out six batters.
