There wasn’t much offense to find at T-Mobile Park, but Cal Raleigh’s solo home run in the bottom of the sixth was all the Mariners required as they snapped the Milwaukee Brewers’ 11-game win streak in a 1-0 victory on July 22.

Logan Gilbert toed the slab for Mariner skipper Dan Wilson, and it was apparent from the get-go that Gilbert was on a different level. He had to play the long game as he was the last starter to make his first start post All-Star break. Gilbert proceeded to strike out the side to start the top of the first inning.

“Logan tonight was at his best. That was a pretty impressive performance from him tonight,” Wilson said postgame.

Gilbert rode that momentum of a strong start into the seventh inning for just the second time all season, with his season opening start the lone other start. What was key for Logan was establishing strikes early in the count, especially with how aggressive the Brewers lineup came at him.

“That was nice (to pitch into the seventh), it has been a while. I did it quite a bit last year but not as much this year. That is something I take pride in, so it was nice to be out there a little bit longer tonight,” Gilbert said.

In his 6.1 innings of work, Gilbert faced 21 batters and threw first pitch strikes to 16 of them at a 76% clip. This helped him to work ahead of Brewer hitters and then use his secondary pitches to put away the team with the best record in baseball.

“That’s how we pitch. We want to be aggressive and aggressive in the zone. We want to attack and get the hitter on the defensive. He (Gilbert) was able to do that very consistently tonight. When you add in the great stuff, that makes it a difficult at-bat,” Wilson said.

Gilbert’s slider and splitter were sensational on Tuesday night — of his 10 strikeouts, six came via the splitter, three with the slider and one with the fastball. Gilbert only surrendered a pair of singles in his time on the mound.

“This was an aggressive team. They were aggressive on him early. But that kind of worked to our benefit and allowed him to get really deep. I thought this was the best we have seen him (Gilbert) all year,” Wilson said.

The Mariner offense was also tasked with a pitcher with nearly unhittable stuff: rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski. He came as advertised with every single fastball in the top of the first inning over 100 mph.

Wilson was satisfied with the at-bats that the Mariners took against the Brewers fireballer, despite not scoring a run against him.

“I thought we had some pretty good at-bats against Misiorowski and were able to get his pitch count up there. We weren’t able to push one across. He had good stuff tonight too. But our guys I thought approached it well,” Wilson said.

In the bottom of the first inning, Home Run Derby Champion Cal Raleigh battled Misiorowski to a 10-pitch at-bat that saw Raleigh line out to centerfield, a bit of a foreshadow of what was to come for MLB’s home run leader.

In the sixth, Raleigh faced Nick Mears, and on a 2-2 pitch, Raleigh clubbed a fastball above the strike zone into the right field seats for his 39th home run of the season.

“I was just trying to shorten up. Feel like I have been a little late to the heater recently,” Raleigh said.

“I wasn’t trying to do too much, wasn’t trying to hit a homer. It just happens, I was just trying to play pepper and just choke up on the bat a little bit,” he added.

Mariner rookie second baseman Cole Young went 1-for-2 with a single and a walk in the win on Tuesday. Over his last seven games, he is hitting .381 and has an on base percentage of .519, which is the highest on the Mariners over their last seven games.

“Each passing day he continues to mature right in front of our eyes. His at-bats have gotten really good here. Miz throwing 100 tonight and he gets a base hit up the middle, then drawing a walk later in the game. He’s hanging in there and doing what he needs to do, he’s playing well beyond his years,” Wilson said.

From there it was up to the Mariner bullpen. Matt Brash danced out of trouble in the seventh stranding a pair of runners. In the eighth, Eduard Bazardo recorded a quick two outs, walked the next batter, and Gabe Speier closed the door, handing Andres Munoz the reigns for the ninth.

Munoz walked William Contreras to start the ninth, struck out Christian Yelich, but then put the tying run in scoring position by walking Jackson Chourio.

But Munoz was able to hold on. He struck out Issac Collins and proceeded to get Andrew Vaughn to ground out to Ben Williamson at third base, who got praise from Gilbert after the win.

“Ben at third was always making great plays. It helps having defense like that behind me,” Gilbert said.

The Mariners have a chance to win a series against the team with the best record in baseball on Wednesday, July 23, with the first pitch at 12:40 p.m.
