The Seattle Mariners fell to the Texas Rangers 9-4 in spring training action at the Peoria Sports Complex. Logan Gilbert made his second start, pitching two and two-thirds innings while allowing just one run on two hits, with three strikeouts and no walks. Gilbert looks sharp overall, mixing his pitches well and staying ahead in counts, though he gave up a solo homer in the third. He also had a funny moment early, tripping over his own feet on a slow roller for a wild fielding attempt that didn't quite work out. Manager Dan Wilson praised Gilbert's intensity in mindset, saying it was a step forward. Cole Young helped with an early lead, crushing a 442-foot homer to right field for a two-nothing advantage. The bullpen struggled later, especially in the sixth, when relievers gave up seven of the Rangers' eight runs on 10 hits. But it was a bright spot for prospect Ryan Sloan in his Cactus League debut, throwing

1:0312 pitches with 10 strikes, touching 99 miles per hour, and retiring the side in order. The Mariners have Monday off before hosting the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, where right-hander Brian Wu makes his second spring start. Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode.
