The Mariners conclude their homestand on Sunday against the Pirates with a premier pitching matchup featuring two of baseball’s best young right-handers.

After missing the first couple of months of the season with inflammation in his pitching shoulder, Seattle right-hander George Kirby appears to be rounding into top form.

In a pitching matchup that lived up to the hype, George Kirby outlasted Paul Skenes to combine on the Mariners’ third consecutive shutout of the Pirates on Sunday.
