Logan Gilbert pitched Seattle's first complete-game shutout in almost four years, Mike Ford and AJ Pollock supported the right-hander with home runs and the visiting Mariners made it two in a row over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday afternoon with a 6-0 victory.

Gilbert (6-5) needed just 105 pitches to blank the Giants on five hits without walking a batter. He struck out seven.

The third-year major-leaguer became the first Mariner to throw a nine-inning shutout since Yusei Kikuchi accomplished the feat on Aug. 18, 2019, in a 7-0 victory at Toronto.

The shutout was the first of Gilbert's career and the seventh of the season for the Mariners, the first six being combined efforts.

Ford finished 4-for-5 with two doubles, a single and his home run for the Mariners, who matched their season-best streak with a fourth straight win. Ford scored twice, as did Pollock, who had two hits and two RBIs.

Julio Rodriguez and J.P. Crawford also had a pair of hits apiece in a 13-hit attack.

After scoring single runs in the first and second innings on an infield out and a wild pitch, the Mariners went up 3-0 in the third on Ford's solo shot, his seventh homer of the season.

That was the last run off Giants starter Keaton Winn (0-2), who allowed three runs and six hits in four innings. He walked one and struck out two.

Rodriguez singled in a run in the sixth before Pollock completed the scoring with a two-run shot off the third Giants pitcher, Jakob Junis, in the eighth. The homer was his fifth of the season.

Only one of the Giants' five hits went for extra bases. It occurred when Mike Yastrzemski doubled with one out in the fourth. But Gilbert struck out Patrick Bailey and got Blake Sabol to fly out to preserve a 3-0 lead.

The Giants also got a baserunner into scoring position in the third after consecutive two-out singles by LaMonte Wade Jr. and Joc Pederson, but J.D. Davis then grounded out. Davis had two of San Francisco's five hits.

The shutout loss was the eighth of the season for the Giants, whose four-game losing streak is one shy of their season-long skid back in April.
