Randy Vasquez pitched six scoreless innings as the San Diego Padres clinched the Vedder Cup with a 2-0 victory against the host Seattle Mariners on Friday.
The Padres improved to 4-0 in the six-game season series against the Mariners, with whom they share a spring training complex in Peoria, Ariz. The Vedder Cup is named for Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, who has ties to both San Diego and Seattle.
Vasquez (5-1), a right-hander, allowed four hits, didn't walk a batter and struck out three.
San Diego relievers Adrian Morejon, Jason Adam and Mason Miller combined for three scoreless innings of relief. Miller got the final four outs for his 14th save of the season.
The Mariners loaded the bases in the eighth. Brendan Donovan reached on an infield single and Julio Rodriguez walked. After Josh Naylor flew out to the warning track in right-center, the Padres brought in Miller to face Randy Arozarena, who reached on a broken-bat blooper just over the mound. = After throwing five consecutive pitches at 101.6 mph or faster, Miller caught Connor Joe looking at a 90-mph slider on a 3-2 count to end the inning.
Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock (3-2) made a quality start. Hancock gave up one run on five hits over six innings, with one walk and six strikeouts.
The Padres opened the scoring in the fourth. Gavin Sheets drew a one-out walk, stole second and scored on a two-out double into the gap in left-center field by Miguel Andujar.
San Diego doubled its advantage in the seventh against Cooper Criswell. Andujar grounded a one-out single to center and advanced to third on Ramon Laureano's line-drive single to left. Andujar scored on Sung-Mun Song's groundout to diving first baseman Naylor.
The Mariners' Cole Young lined a one-out double to right-center field in the fifth. But he was doubled off second as left fielder Laureano made a diving catch of a sinking liner by Jhonny Pereda.
The only other hits Vasquez allowed were a leadoff single by Dominic Canzone in the third and two-out singles by Arozarena in the fourth and Naylor in the sixth.
