SB Nation on MSNNever been a sinner, I never sinned: Phillies 11, Mariners 2
Frustrations were rising when the Phillies left two runners on base in both the fifth and sixth inning. It certainly felt like those missed opportunities were going to cost them, especially when David Robertson relieved Luzardo and gave up a home run to Eugenio Suarez. (And it was the right decision to remove Luzardo.)
Philadelphia's starting pitchers combined for 34 strikeouts while their team collected 48 hits across three wins over the Seattle Mariners.
Seattle Mariners prospects Felnin Celesten and Ryan Sloan each showed why they've reached the Northwest League at just 19 years old.
Luzardo allowed one run in six innings, part of a dominant series for Phillies starters, who had a team-record 34 strikeouts in three games against Seattle.

The Spun on MSNMLB Announces Punishment For Seattle Mariners OF Victor Robles
MLB revealed its punishment for Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles following a bizarre incident. Robles, who went on the injured list with a dislocated left shoulder in early April, got hit by a pitch while playing a minor-league rehab game for Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
The Seattle Mariners have signed former All-Star and American League Rookie of the Year winner Michael Fulmer to a minor league contract.
Realmuto launched a two-run homer in the eighth inning Tuesday, snapping a 4-4 tie and providing the winning runs as the Phillies captured the series. All that remained after the homer was for closer Jhoan Duran to enter to his anticipated light show and blow away the Mariners with a 102-mph fastball and 100-mph splinker.
