series sweep
SEATTLE (AP) --- Bryce Miller took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and the
Seattle Mariners edged the Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Thursday night to finish a
three-game sweep.
Cal Raleigh coaxed a bases-loaded walk from rookie starter Walbert Urea with
two outs in the sixth to force home the only run. Seattle stayed tied with the
Texas Rangers for first place in the AL West at 45-43.
Andrs Muoz pitched a shaky ninth for his 16th save. Muoz gave up a leadoff
walk and two singles but retired Wade Meckler on a grounder with two runners
aboard to end it.
Zach Neto walked to begin the inning but got picked off at first base
attempting to steal second.
Seattle center fielder Julio Rodrguez was removed in the top of the third, two
innings after being hit in the back of the helmet by a thrown ball while
running the bases. He was replaced by Victor Robles, who got hit by a pitch on
the right wrist in the bottom of the third and was lifted in favor of Weston
Wilson in the fifth.
Miller (4-2) struck out eight and walked none in seven splendid innings. He
lost his no-hit bid when Nolan Schanuel blooped a leadoff single to
right-center in the seventh. Denzer Guzmn followed with a single, but Miller
retired the next three batters to preserve the lead.
Eduard Bazardo struck out two in a perfect eighth.
Los Angeles' lone baserunner through six innings came when Guzmn reached
second on a throwing error by Mariners third baseman J.P. Crawford with two
outs in the fourth.
Crawford, playing his 1,000th career game, doubled to start the bottom of the
sixth for the first hit of the night. Dominic Canzone and Randy Arozarena
walked to load the bases with one out before Josh Naylor struck out swinging.
Raleigh fell behind 0-2 in the count but worked a nine-pitch walk that scored
Crawford and chased Urea (5-7).
