SEATTLE — Down in the dirt to start the seventh inning, Logan Gilbert had fans up on their feet a few minutes later.

In his first Father’s Day as a dad, Gilbert had one of his best starts of the season Sunday afternoon, allowing only one run over 6 1/3 innings to power the Seattle Mariners past the Boston Red Sox, 3-1, and salvage the series finale at T-Mobile Park.

On the first play of the seventh inning, Gilbert ran to cover first base and tumbled around the bag trying to corral an errant throw from Josh Naylor.

Checked by a team trainer, Gilbert threw several warmup pitches and remained in the game. He then struck out Willson Contreras swinging through a splitter for his eighth strikeout of the game.

M’s manager Dan Wilson made a call to the bullpen from there, and Gilbert walked off the mound to a rousing ovation from a sold-out crowd of 45,577. He pointed toward the family section behind home plate, where his wife, Aviles, and 7-month-old son, Henry, were watching.

Dom Canzone gave the Mariners an early 1-0 lead with his 12th home run of the season, his first off a left-handed pitcher.

Canzone drove in the third run with an RBI groundout in the sixth inning but he was pulled from the game immediately after that with an apparent right hamstring injury.

The team did not provide an immediate update on Canzone’s status, but losing their designated hitter/right fielder to any length of time would be a significant blow to a Mariners lineup already reeling from a string of position-player injuries.

Cole Young gave the Mariners a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning when he drove in newcomer Weston Wilson from second base on a two-out, two-strike single to the opposite field.

Wilson reached on a two-out single — his first hit with the Mariners — and then stole second base to get into scoring position for Young.

Gabe Speier, Eduard Bazardo and Andrés Muñoz combined for 2 2/3 scoreless innings in relief for the Mariners (40-39), who maintain their slim lead atop the AL West.
