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.

VIDEO: Mayor Wilson proposes renewing, expanding Seattle Transit Measure by doubling the sales-tax percentage that funds it.
Through the end of this year, 0.15% of the sales tax you pay funds the voter-approved Seattle Transit Measure. That would double to 0.30% if the City Council and Seattle voters approve the renewal/expansion that Mayor Katie Wilson officially introduced this afternoon. She said it’ll make living in Seattle more affordable by enabling more people to “live car-free or car-light.” She acknowledged that raising the sales tax isn’t ideal but noted that it’s one of the few revenue-raising tools available under state law. Besides paying for more transit – 280,000 additional Metro bus trips a year, 100,000 more than the current measure funds – it also would pay for 22,000 free ORCA transit passes, more than double what the city provides now, said acting SDOT director Angela Brady during the announcement event at City Hall. The passes are now available to Seattle Promise scholars, low-income Seattle Preschool Program families, and Seattle Housing Authority residents. The measure’s renewal/expansion would also make those passes available to Housing Choice Voucher participants.
The mayor’s announcement says the Transit Measure isn’t just about buses: It also would “support the design and delivery of Sound Transit’s West Seattle Link Extension, Ballard Link Extension, and Graham Street Station.” The 0.30% sales tax would generate an estimated $138 million average per year for the 10 years of this measure, which is proposed to go to voters in November. Council review starts this Thursday and will be led by District 1 City Councilmember Rob Saka, who chairs the council committee that oversees transportation. We’ll add the specific text of the proposal when we get it; the slide deck for Thursday’s council meeting is now available, and we’ll add some highlights from that soon.
