Miles Mikolas' 7 shutout innings lift Nationals to 10-1 rout of Mariners
By PATRICK STEVENS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) --- Miles Mikolas pitched seven shutout innings in relief of an
opener, and the Washington Nationals scored five runs in the fourth inning to
pull away from the Seattle Mariners 10-1 on Sunday.
Keibert Ruiz and James Wood homered for Washington.
Seattle has lost four of five and went 4-6 on its road trip that included stops
in Detroit and Baltimore.
Mikolas (2-5) retired 20 of the 23 batters he faced to earn his first victory
since May 6. He struck out three and allowed three singles.
With the game tied at 1-1, the Nationals opened the fourth with five
consecutive hits against Emerson Hancock (5-3). The key hits included Ruiz's
go-ahead single to left, Daylen Lile's RBI double to right and Nasim Nuez's
two-run single against a drawn-in infield.
Nuez moved up to third on Hancock's errant pickoff attempt and beat first
baseman Josh Naylor's throw home on Jorbit Vivas' grounder to make it 6-1.
Hancock allowed six runs in four innings while striking out two. It was the
first time the right-hander failed to complete five innings in 14 starts this
season.
Seattle closer Andrs Muoz, pitching for the first time since Monday, faced
two batters in the eighth before leaving after an athletic trainer came to the
mound.
The Mariners took a lead against PJ Poulin when Cole Young led off the game
with an infield single and scored when Naylor doubled and center fielder Jacob
Young bobbled the carom off the wall.
Wood led off the first with a blast to right, becoming the first Nationals
player with consecutive 20-homer seasons since Juan Soto in 2021 and 2022.
Naylor fouled a ball off his right shin before flying out in the sixth and was
replaced on defense in the bottom of the inning.
Up next Seattle is off Monday and has not announced pitching plans for Tuesday's home game against Baltimore. Washington LHP Andrew Alvarez (1-0, 3.70 ERA) starts Monday as the Nationals' homestand continues against Kansas City. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
