Bryce Miller took a no-hitter into the seventh inning as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Thursday to complete a three-game sweep of their American League West rivals.
Cal Raleigh drew a bases-loaded walk off Angels starter Walbert Urena (5-7) with two outs in the bottom of the sixth to score the game’s lone run.
Miller (4-2) allowed two hits, didn’t walk a batter and struck out eight after he lost his previous two starts. Andres Munoz allowed a walk and two singles to load the bases in the ninth, but he got Wade Meckler to ground into a game-ending double play.
Neither team had a hit until Seattle’s J.P. Crawford led off the bottom of the sixth with a double into right-center field. Dominic Canzone and Randy Arozarena drew one-out walks before Urena struck out Josh Naylor on three pitches. Urena got ahead 0-2 in the count to Raleigh before last season’s home run champ rebounded to draw a walk.
Guardians 6, White Sox 5
Brayan Rocchio hit a two-run, walk-off homer with one out in the ninth inning to lift host Cleveland over Chicago.
