Logan Gilbert can thank his jersey for stopping at least one earned run.
With a runner on third in the first inning, the Athletics’ Carlos Cortes belted a line drive at the Seattle Mariners right-hander and the ball somehow lodged itself in Gilbert’s jersey.
Gilbert grabbed at his stomach and turned to locate the ball as Cortes made his way down the first-base line, only to find he in fact caught it in his shirt.
Cortes was credited with a single as the play was considered dead, but Nick Kurtz remained at third base.
Shea Langeliers advanced to second base.
