Rangers Blank Mariners, Sweep Series

0:00It's April 8th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Kory with the story. Texas Rangers just blanked the Seattle Mariners 3-0 on Wednesday, sweeping the 3-game series with a dominant pitching performance. McKenzie Gore was lights out, tossing five innings with just one hit, nine strikeouts, and two walks to pick up his second win. Brian Wu took the loss for Seattle after giving up three runs, one earned on five hits in five innings. All the Rangers' runs came in that pivotal fifth frame, sparked by back-to-back singles from Danny Jansen and Josh Smith, then Ezekiel Durand loading, the bases. Brandon Nemo's fielders' choice, plus a Seattle throwing error, played at two runs, and Kory Seeger's sack fly made it three-nothing. Mariners could only muster two hits total, a pair of singles and whiffed 13 times, extending their skid to five straight losses. Wolpen locked it down with scoreless frames from Chris Martin and Luis Cervello, then Cole Wins slammed the door in the ninth.
