Logan Gilbert pitched 7 1/3 innings of one-hit ball and Randy Arozarena belted a grand slam as the Seattle Mariners routed the visiting Toronto Blue Jays 11-0 on Saturday afternoon.

Cal Raleigh hit a three-run homer and Dominic Canzone added a two-run shot as the Mariners won for the fourth time in their past five games and moved past Texas and into first place in the American League West.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson announced before the game the team was scrapping the scheduled piggyback with Gilbert (7-5) and Emerson Hancock for the day and the right-hander took advantage.

Gilbert retired the first 14 Blue Jays batters in order before Yohendrick Pinango blooped a single into shallow left field with two outs in the fifth inning, the ball falling between outfielders Victor Robles and Arozarena.

Gilbert retired the final eight batters he faced before exiting after 91 pitches. Gilbert didn’t walk a batter and struck out seven.

The Mariners opened the scoring in the second inning with a five-run rally after the first two batters were retired by Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber (0-1). Cole Young lined a double into right-center and Victor Robles singled to left, scoring Young. Colt

Emerson grounded a single to center, sending Robles to third, and J.P. Crawford walked to load the bases. Arozarena lined an 0-1 slider over the wall in left.

Seattle added to its advantage in the fifth as Arozarena drew a leadoff walk and Canzone followed with a homer to right to make it 7-0.

That was it for Bieber, who allowed seven runs on six hits in four-plus innings. The right-hander walked three and fanned three.

With one out in the bottom of the sixth, Emerson bunted for a single and, an out later, Arozarena reached on an infield single, with third baseman Kazuma Okamoto’s errant throw allowing Emerson to take third. Canzone grounded an RBI-scoring single to right and Raleigh followed with a towering blast off the facade of the second deck in right off Tommy Nance to cap the scoring.

PHILADELPHIA — Kylian Mbappe converted from the spot for his 19th World Cup goal and seventh of this tournament as France outlasted Paraguay to reach the quarterfinals with a 1-0 victory on Saturday in a steamy round of 16 encounter.

With the penalty, earned by substitute Desire Doue’s slaloming run into the area, Mbappe pulled even with Argentina’s Lionel Messi atop the 2026 Golden Boot leaderboard and moved within one of the 39-year-old for the all-time World Cup goals lead.

It was all Les Bleus needed against a resilient but limited Albirroja side, who defended admirably in sweltering conditions with temperatures nearing 100 Fahrenheit while offering little going forward.

France advance to meet Morocco next Thursday in Foxborough, Mass., in a rematch of the 2022 semifinal that ended in a 2-0 French victory.

Paraguay shocked Germany on penalties following a 1-1 draw in the round of 32 on Monday, a result that inspired president Santiago Pena to declare Tuesday a national holiday.

But the Albirroja still exited a round shy of their all-time best quarterfinal finish in 2010, which doubled as their last World Cup finals appearance.

The South Americans frustrated the two-time World Champions throughout the first half and well into the second, aided in part by the card-shy approach of Uzbek referee Ilgiz Tantashev. When he did reach for his pocket, it was puzzlingly for three French offenders even though Paraguay led 12-9 in fouls.

But Paraguay had no solution for the injection of energy Doue brought after Didier Deschamps inserted him in the 61st minute for Bradley Barcola.

Moments after Tantashev waved off appeals for a foul on Mbappe just outside the box, Doue’s excellent incisive dribbling in from the left forced an awkward challenge from the left leg of Diego Gomez that required the referee to make another decision.

Initially he reached the same conclusion and held his whistle, only to be summoned to the replay monitor by his VAR lead Juan Lara. Eventually he saw Gomez’s clear foul.

After some delaying tactics by Paraguay on the spot, Mbappe neatly converted into the bottom right corner as goalkeeper Orlando Gill guessed in the opposite direction.

Clearly fatigued by the conditions and their 120-minute effort against the Germans, Paraguay tried at last to get numbers forward. Substitute Mauricio mustered their first effort on target in the 90th minute.

But it was France who looked more likely to add another goal, with Gill doing well to deny Mbappe a brace with one stop in the 89th minute and two more in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time.

Lee Hodges shot 4-under-par 67 and moved into a tie with Lucas Glover through three rounds of the John Deere Classic on Saturday at Silvis, Ill.

Glover, the second-round leader, posted 69. The duo is at 16-under 197 with a one-stroke advantage going into Sunday’s final round at TPC Deere Run.

Ben Kohles (66 on Saturday), Jackson Suber (66) and Zac Blair (67) are one shot back. No member of that trio has won on the PGA Tour.

Other than a birdie on No. 17, Glover had only pars on the backside.

Kohles, appearing in a PGA Tour tournament for the eighth time this year, recorded birdies on three of the final five holes.

Most golfers had completed their rounds before a lightning delay with 10 golfers still needing to finish the round. Play resumed about 45 minutes later.

Blair, playing his ninth PGA Tour event of the season, posted an eagle on the second hole, though he gave that back with a double-bogey 6 on No. 11 marking the only glitch in his round until a bogey on No. 18.

Doug Ghim (65) is in sixth at 14 under and Zach Johnson (66) seventh at 13 under.

Japan’s Ryo Hisatsune (69) is tied for eighth place at 12 under with amateur Preston Stout (66), Chandler Phillips (65) and Max Homa (68).

Other than Hisatsune, the leaderboard’s top 18 golfers is comprised of U.S. golfers, perhaps fitting for Independence Day.

The best round of the day was turned in by Rickie Fowler with 63, a mark that reflected just one bogey. He notched an eagle on the par-4 14th, with a putt from about 40 feet and is among those tied for 12th at 11 under.

The start of the round was delayed because of weather-related concerns, then golfers were sent off on Nos. 1 and 10 in threesomes, so the round was on track to be completed sooner than initially projected until the suspension late in the round.
