Vsquez tosses 6 scoreless innings, Miller gets MLB-best 14th save as Padres

SEATTLE (AP) --- Randy Vsquez threw six shutout innings, Mason Miller got a
four-out save and Miguel Andujar hit an RBI double as the San Diego Padres beat
the Seattle Mariners 2-0 on Friday night.
Vsquez (5-1), who has not allowed an earned run in three of nine starts this
season, scattered four hits across six innings while not allowing a runner to
advance past second base. The righty gave up only one extra-base hit, a double
by Cole Young in the fifth inning.
San Diego scored its first run in the fourth on a two-strike, two-out double by
Andujar on a hanging sweeper by Mariners starter Emerson Hancock (3-2). It was
the only run the Padres scored against Hancock, who allowed a season-high five
earned runs in his last start.
The Padres struck again in the seventh on an RBI groundout by Sung-Mun Song off
Cooper Criswell.
Seattle had a chance to tie it, and even take the lead, when it loaded the
bases in the eighth. Miller, the Padres' All-Star closer, struck out Connor Joe
looking with a full count slider to end the inning en route to earning his
major league-leading 14th save.
Before Miller entered, Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor came within a few
feet of hitting a go-ahead, three-run homer off Jason Adam on his 381-foot fly
out to center field.
The Mariners were shut out for the fifth time in 46 games. Seattle was shut out
six times last season.
Up next
Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (2-3, 3.78) starts Saturday afternoon in
the second game of the three-game set. The Padres have not announced a starter
yet.
