SEATTLE - Randy Vásquez threw six shutout innings, Mason Miller got a four-out save and Miguel Andujar hit an RBI double as the San Diego Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 2-0 on Friday night.
Vásquez (5-1), who has not allowed an earned run in three of nine starts this season, scattered four hits across six innings while not allowing a runner to advance past second base. The righty gave up only one extra-base hit, a double by Cole Young in the fifth inning.
San Diego scored its first run in the fourth on a two-strike, two-out double by Andujar on a hanging sweeper by Mariners starter Emerson Hancock (3-2). It was the only run the Padres scored against Hancock, who allowed a season-high five earned runs in his last start.
The Padres struck again in the seventh on an RBI groundout by Sung-Mun Song off Cooper Criswell.
Seattle had a chance to tie it, and even take the lead, when it loaded the bases in the eighth. Miller, the Padres’ All-Star closer, struck out Connor Joe looking with a full-count slider to end the inning en route to earning his major league-leading 14th save.
Before Miller entered, Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor came within a few feet of hitting a go-ahead, three-run homer off Jason Adam on his 381-foot fly out to center field.
The Mariners were shut out for the fifth time in 46 games. Seattle was shut out six times last season.
