Rookie Anderson Fires Seven Scoreless, Mariners Beat Rockies 2-1
9 sourcesUpdated Sep 21, 2026
Rookie Kade Anderson threw a career-best seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out seven without issuing a walk, as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Colorado Rockies 2-1 in Denver. Dominic Canzone drove in both Seattle runs, helping the Mariners improve to 73-83, gain ground in the AL West and avoid elimination from postseason contention. Anderson’s outing came after he allowed five runs in his previous start and marked his first scoreless major league appearance, keeping Seattle’s slim playoff hopes alive with six games remaining. Mariners closer Andrés Muñoz left in the ninth after allowing a solo homer and issuing a walk; Eduard Bazardo replaced him and recorded his first save. Seattle is expected to give Anderson one more start, against the Los Angeles Angels, to close the season.
