Pirates' lethargic offense stifled again in second straight shutout
This article originally appeared on The Pirates suffered a 1-0 road loss to the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, July 5, picking up just two hits (three baserunners) and never advancing past first base. Advertisement Pittsburgh (38-52) starter Mike Burrows pitched five scoreless innings, fanning six batters and working through traffic for much of his time on the mound, but reliever Caleb Ferguson gave up a run after allowing two doubles. The Mariners didn't need any more offense against the Pirates' lethargic bats, who haven't plated a run over their last 19 innings of play. Two Spencer Horwitz singles were all that saved Pittsburgh from a no-hitter. Mariners starter Luis Castillo carried a perfect game through the first three innings and went seven in total, striking out eight on an efficient 99 pitches.

Williamson has RBI double, Castillo strikes out 8 in 7 innings as Mariners beat Pirates 1-0
Ben Williamson had an RBI double in the sixth inning. Luis Castillo tossed seven innings, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 1–0 on Saturday night. Williamson, who came in with just one RBI since May 29, patiently waited on a cutter down in the zone from Pirates reliever Caleb Ferguson (0–3) and smacked it into the right-center gap to put the Mariners in front. It was the only run they would need, with Castillo (5–5) easily going through the Pirates lineup. The right-hander gave up two singles while striking out a season-high eight. He needed just 99 pitches to tie his season high for innings. Matt Brash pitched the eighth, and Andres Munoz got the last three outs for his 20th save. Pirates starter Mike Burrows gave up three hits and walked four while striking out six in five innings. Key moment: Just two hitters into the game, Pirates designated hitter Andrew McCutchen got a hold of a four-seam fastball from Castillo. Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez raced to and collided with the wall in left-center field to take extra bases away from McCutchen. Key stat: Castillo went at least seven innings for the 20th time in 92 starts with the Mariners.
