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.

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.
The final score was 3-2 in favor of the Seattle Mariners.
The Seattle Mariners won all three games in the series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Seattle Mariners' current record is 13-14.
The Seattle Mariners will play their next series against the Minnesota Twins, starting at 4:40 p.m. PT on Monday.

Jose A. Ferrer Has Adapted to High-Leverage Role With Seattle Mariners
Fellow starter Bryan Woo was also pulled after just three innings in game two of the three-game set against the Cardinals on Saturday. Once again, Ferrer was tasked with long coverage following the early pull and spun two scoreless frames.
On Sunday, with a one-run lead, Ferrer entered the game in the bottom of the ninth to try and earn the save. It was just his second save opportunity of the season.
Ferrer didn't issue a walk or allow a hit and retired the side in order to earn his first save with Seattle.
For the season, Ferrer now has a 1.93 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 14 innings pitched across 15 appearances.
Last season, right-handed reliever Eduard Bazardo was used in a similar way of being able to cover a down arm in low leverage, pitch multiple innings and throw in high-leverage situations.
It seems that Ferrer is being used in a similar way this season and based on his recent performances, he's beginning to acclimate to that role.
