The Mariners came out on the winning end of a marquee pitching duel between George Kirby and Paul Skenes to secure the series sweep over the Pirates.
The Mariners came close to taking a 1-0 lead in the first on a single by Jorge Polanco, but Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz made a 105.2 mph throw to nab Seattle’s J.P. Crawford at the plate.
Sunday's win marked the first time Mariners recorded three consecutive shutouts in franchise history. They won the three-game set against the Pirates by scores of 6-0, 1-0 and 1-0.
