Jose A. Ferrer Continues Solid Week in Seattle Mariners Finale vs. St. Louis Cardinals

The Seattle Mariners earned their first road series win of the season Sunday in a 3-2 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

In addition to owning the series win, the Mariners were also able to pull off the sweep in the three-game series, winning the trio of contests by a combined four runs.

Seattle improved its overall record to 13-14 on the year and will have a chance to get back to or over .500 with a series win against the Minnesota Twins, which begins at 4:40 p.m. PT on Monday at Target Field in Minneapolis.

In addition to earning the series win against St. Louis, it also marked another impressive showing for left-handed Mariners reliever Jose A. Ferrer.

Ferrer was originally acquired by the Mariners in a trade with the Washington Nationals this offseason that sent top 100 pitching prospect Harry Ford to the nation's capitol in return.

When Ferrer was acquired, it was expected he would provide Seattle an alternative left-handed arm out of the bullpen aside from Gabe Speier.

Ferrer began the year having allowed four runs (three earned) through his first 10 contests.

Since his last earned run allowed in a game against the Texas Rangers on April 17, Ferrer hasn't allowed a run in five outings.

Starting pitcher Logan Gilbert was pulled early after four innings of work against on April 22. Ferrer came in and pitched two scoreless innings, for which he of Mariners manager Dan Wilson.
