Seattle Mariners Offense Putting Up Concerning Numbers When Team Ace is Starting
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners concluded a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies by getting shut out 6-0 on Sunday at T-Mobile Park.
The series as a whole was a success for Seattle. They took two of three game against Philadelphia — a legitimate World Series contender. It was the first home series win for the Mariners since June 14-16 against the Texas Rangers. And Seattle retook sole possession of first place in the American League West over the Houston Astros. They lead the division now by 1.0 game.
Overall, a pretty good weekend.
Sunday’s shut out loss wasn’t the worst result when considering all of that previously mentioned. But it did continue a worrying trend for Seattle ace Logan Gilbert.
According to a tweet from MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer — Gilbert has the second-worst run support in the league at 2.99 runs a game.
Lowest run support average, 2024 (entering today)
1) Patrick Corbin (WSH): 2.90 — Daniel Kramer (@DKramer_) August 4, 2024
➡️2) Logan Gilbert (SEA): 2.99
3) Garrett Crochet (CWS): 3.19
4) JP Sears (OAK): 3.32
5) Zack Littell (TB): 3.38
That lack of run support has shown up in the win-loss column as well. The Mariners have lost five of Gilbert’s last six starts. He’s 6-8 on the year despite making the All-Star team.
Four of Gilbert’s last six outings have been quality starts. He’s tied with Baltimore Orioles starter Corbin Burnes with the most starts in the league (18).

Gilbert has a 3.05 ERA this season with 143 strikeouts in 23 starts and 147.2 innings pitched.
Seattle’s offense has started to see an uptick in the last couple weeks with the additions of Randy Arozarena and Justin Turner to the lineup., but it just didn’t correlate on Sunday.
When Julio Rodriguez and JP Crawford return from injury — the offense could be even more efficient. Now it’s just a matter of matching that offense up with the 2024 All-Star.
The Mariners begin a new series with the Detroit Tigers on Monday.

NBA Commissioner says Las Vegas, Seattle remain expansion targets for 2028-29 season
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Las Vegas could be years away from landing an NBA expansion team, but the league’s commissioner is now offering a clearer sense of the timeline.
On Tuesday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told “The Dan Patrick Show” that Seattle and Las Vegas remain the cities the NBA is focused on if it expands. “If we expand, at least we’re thinking ’28-29 season,” Silver said.
Silver had previously signaled before that March meeting that Seattle and Las Vegas were at the center of the expansion discussion, while cautioning that no decision had been made.
“We will make decisions in 2026,” Silver said in February.
At the time, Silver said the league was not expected to vote in March but could emerge from those meetings ready to take the next step and begin discussions with potential ownership groups.
Las Vegas has long been viewed as Seattle’s most likely expansion partner if the NBA grows from 30 to 32 teams. Silver, however, has repeatedly said the league could expand by two teams, one team, or not at all.
The potential of an NBA Las Vegas expansion team has already drawn interest. This week, majority owner of the Vegas Golden Knights, Bill Foley, announced he is putting together a bid for the expansion team in Las Vegas.
