MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Garrett Mitchell and Gary Snchez each hit two-run doubles
during a six-run first inning, and the MLB-best Milwaukee Brewers beat the
Seattle Mariners 7-4 on Thursday.
Mitchell also homered in the eighth, finishing 3 for 4 with three RBIs as
Milwaukee took two of three from Seattle. The series included the Brewers' 22-0
win on Tuesday night that matched the record for the biggest shutout in
baseball's modern era. Milwaukee has won seven straight home series.
George Kirby (8-10) had a nightmarish first inning, walking the leadoff batter
and giving up six hits. Snchez got the Brewers on the board and Joey Ortiz
added an RBI single. Mitchell's double made it 5-0 and David Hamilton drove in
the last run with another double.
Kirby worked 3 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on nine hits.
Staked to the big lead, Brewers starter Robert Gasser lasted just 3 2/3 innings
and was lifted mid-at-bat by manager Pat Murphy after falling behind in the
count to Randy Arozarena. Gasser gave up four hits and four runs.
Brendan Donovan had a two-run double for Seattle, and Dominic Canzone's RBI
single got the Mariners within 6-4 in the fourth.
Chad Patrick (7-4) pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings in relief. Trevor Megill
retired the side in order in the ninth for his 23rd save in 25 opportunities.
Mitchell belted a 420-foot homer to center off Jhonathan Daz with one out in
the eighth.
Mariners shortstop Brock Rodden singled in the second and has a hit in each of
his first six major league games.
