SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners were on the wrong side of a shutout as their offense failed to generate significant traffic on the base paths in a 5-0 loss against the New York Yankees on Tuesday at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

The Mariners (3-3) offense fell prey to a dominant pitching attack from Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried.

The three-time All-Star recorded seven scoreless innings, allowed three hits, had six strikeouts, issued one walk and hit a batter. He threw 90 pitches, 60 of which were strikes.

The M's finished the night 0-for-1 with runners in scoring position and left five on base.

Julio Rodriguez was the only Seattle hitter to reach multiple times Tuesday. He drew a four-pitch walk in the top of the first inning and had a lead-off single in the bottom of the seventh.

"Tough one tonight," M's manager Dan Wilson said in a postgame interview Tuesday. " ... Offensively, we just weren't able to get too much going against Fried. He is tough. Not a ton of punchouts but just a lot of contact. Weren't able to get too much traffic. A tougher night tonight."

New York created opportunities for itself in the first and sixth innings and took advantage of them.

With two outs in the top of the first, Yankees left fielder Cody Bellinger reached with a single and was brought home with an RBI double hit by first baseman Ben Rice.

Rice scored the next at-bat with an RBI single hit by Giancarlo Stanton. His single was a fly ball that fell in right field.

The Yankees forced 28 pitches out of Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert in the first inning.

The 2024 All-Star settled after giving up the two first-inning runs and went into the sixth having thrown 74 pitches.

Gilbert gave up a lead-off ground-rule double to New York center fielder Trent Grisham in the bottom of the sixth but bounced back and struck out defending American League MVP Aaron Judge.

Bellinger had his second hit of the night — a single — to move Grisham to third and give the Yankees runners on the corners and one out.

Bellinger went to steal second in a play that opened the floodgates for New York's second multi-run inning.

M's catcher Cal Raleigh threw to shortstop Leo Rivas to try and catch Bellinger on the steal attempt. The throw ended up in the outfield, which brought home Grisham and moved Bellinger to third.

Rice drew a walk and Stanton hit an RBI double, which gave the Yankees a 4-0 lead and marked the end of Gilbert's night.

New York second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. added the final run with an RBI single against reliever Cole Wilcox. Catcher JC Escarra struck out swinging and shortstop Jose Caballero grounded out to end the inning.

Gilbert finished the game with six fanned batters in 5.1 innings pitched. He walked three, threw a wild pitch and allowed five earned runs on seven hits.

"I think the last couple guys, just fell behind them (in the count)," Gilbert said after the game Tuesday. "Bellinger got to a pretty good fastball at the top and just kind of poked it through the middle. Just a combination of things."

None of Seattle's four hits Tuesday were for extra bases. The only legitimate extra-base opportunity the Mariners had on Tuesday was a 101.9 mile-per-hour fly ball hit to center field hit by left fielder Randy Arozarena.

Grisham made a sprinting grab to rob the 2025 All-Star of a potential double. It was the second 100-mph-plus fly ball hit by Arozarena in the Mariners' current homestand that resulted in a flyout rather than a base hit.

"(Arozarena's) been pretty consistent and has swung the bat well," Wilson said. "He's trying to take what he could get there and got a pitch he could drive to right-center field. Put a really good swing on it. That was a nice play out in center field. That's a tough one to swallow but he has been swinging the bat pretty well."

Pleased with Brazil’s performance and 3–1 victory over Croatia on Tuesday night (31) in the U.S., coach Carlo Ancelotti gave a very positive assessment of the team’s last FIFA window before the final squad announcement for the World Cup. He praised the contribution of the newcomers in the two friendlies (the other was against France last week) and once again expressed his confidence in the team’s work.

"I am happy, motivated, confident, and calm. Because I think we have a good team structure. We have a good atmosphere, and everyone is working very well."

"Winning with the national team is always special. And when you lose, it always brings great sadness. It is an important victory. I think the team played very well, very solidly, with intensity. The idea was to play like that. There are things that, of course, we still have to improve. But, as I said after the game against France, we are on the right track," the coach continued.

Ancelotti praised those who made their debut for the team in this FIFA window and those who had, until then, only played a few minutes for the national team. He stressed that they made the most of the opportunity.

"What pleases me most is that the new players really made the most of their opportunity. Obviously, that increases the uncertainty over the final squad list, because Igor Thiago did very well, Léo Pereira did very well, Danilo (Santos) did well, Endrick did very well, Kaiki too. They all took their chance, and that is a positive sign for the team. Now we will keep evaluating what happens in the European leagues and also in the Brazilian Championship," he said.

He explained why he made eight changes over the course of the match:

"The changes were mainly to put fresh legs on the field. Endrick, Igor Thiago, Martinelli, and Rayan. Because, in truth, up front, they worked very hard. In the second half, they were a little tired, so we changed the system. But, obviously, the characteristics changed as well. And Endrick took advantage of being more central to win the penalty and provide the assist for Martinelli."

Danilo Santos and Igor Thiago could only smile after finding the net for the first time for the Brazil National Team on Tuesday night (31), in the 3-1 win over Croatia at Camping World Stadium in Orlando — Gabriel Martinelli scored the other goal. Crucial to the result, the duo made a point of thanking their teammates and coach Carlo Ancelotti for the opportunity.

Scorer of the goal that opened the scoring, Danilo followed the counterattack led by Vinicius Jr., who ran the length of the pitch and passed to the midfielder, who struck powerfully into the top corner to score for Brazil at the end of the first half.

“I want to thank God, the Mister (Ancelotti), and the group for this opportunity. I was able to score. The important thing is that we came away with the win, this World Cup cycle is over, and everything worked out today,” celebrated the 24-year-old player.

Late in the second half, the match was level for only a few moments. Croatia’s Majer made it 1-1, but Igor Thiago, shortly afterward, put Brazil back in front from the penalty spot. Before stepping up to take it, he received the ball from Endrick, whom he thanked for the trust.

“In the dressing room, everyone supports each other. I’m very happy that he gave me the ball, trusted me, and believed in my work. In the last World Cup, we went out like that, conceding a goal at the end, but we were resilient. I’m very happy for the opportunity,” said the striker.

With Danilo Santos and Igor Thiago eyeing two of the 26 spots for the World Cup, Brazil National Team coach Carlo Ancelotti will announce the squad for the tournament on May 18.
