PITTSBURGH -- Maybe Jeanmar Gomez should be given short notice every time he pitches. The Pittsburgh right-hander tossed five shutout innings after being thrust into the starting role less than three hours before game time, helping the Pirates to a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. Gomez allowed just two hits, walked two and struck out five while dropping his ERA to 2.38, heady territory considering that the teams primary long reliever had already gone through his usual pregame routine when manager Clint Hurdle beckoned him to his office and said he needed somebody to fill in for injured James McDonald. The struggling right-hander was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday after experiencing tightness in his throwing shoulder. Enter Gomez, acquired in a trade with Cleveland in January. He made the team as a utility pitcher and is becoming more valuable by the week. "Its really hard because you throw already, you play catch and you do your workout," Gomez said. "But you know if the team needs me and the manager asks me, I feel ready." He certainly looked ready before giving way to Pittsburghs dominant bullpen. The Mariners never got a runner to third base during Gomezs 66-pitch effort. "A guy comes in here at 4 oclock and you tell him hes going to start, to get that effort we were real happy," Hurdle said. "He continues to show up and do a very professional job in whatever we tell him to do." Five relievers kept the lead intact, with closer Jason Grilli delivering a perfect ninth for his major league-leading 13th save as the Pirates improved to 14-0 when leading after seven innings. Andrew McCutchen went 4 for 4 with an RBI-double and Garrett Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth to pad the lead. Aaron Harang (1-4) posted his second strong outing, but received little help from Seattles anemic offence. Raul Ibanez provided a pinch-hit RBI-double in the seventh to pull the Mariners within a run, but Seattle would get no closer. "We didnt have much time to prepare for (Gomez) and everybody scrambled to do the best they could to get ready," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "Be that as it may, the kid pitched a good ballgame. He had a good sinker, a good slider that he kept sweeping off the plate. He threw a good ballgame." The Pirates traded for Gomez in January hoping the 25-year-old could find a role on a pitching staff thats had trouble staying healthy. Hes flourished when summoned from out of the blue. Gomez was pressed into action three batters into the game against St. Louis last month when starter Jonathan Sanchez was ejected, then took over Sanchezs spot last week against Milwaukee after the Pirates and Sanchez parted ways. Still, he wasnt planning on working early Tuesday until the McDonald informed Hurdle that his right shoulder didnt feel right. McDonald has struggled with his command and his velocity all season and began the day with a 2-2 record and a 5.76 ERA while hardly looking like the pitcher who nearly made the All-Star team last summer. McDonald said his shoulder felt "cranky" after his previous start in Milwaukee. He expected it to get better. It didnt. Placing McDonald on the disabled list means Gomez likely will get another chance to start on Sunday in New York. Seattle came in 7-3 over its last 10 games while trying to erase a woeful start, but couldnt find a way to solve Gomez. The Mariners offered little resistance against Gomez, their only real push coming with a brief two-out rally in the third when Michael Saunders singled and former Pirates All-Star Jason Bay walked. Kyle Seager lined out to left to end the threat and Gomez exited without letting anyone get to third base. The Pirates gave Gomez all the offence he would need in the first inning. Starling Marte led off with a bunt single off Harang then scored on Travis Sniders RBI-double. McCutchen followed with a double to left-centre and the Pirates were up 2-0. McCutchens double extended his hot streak. The All-Star centre fielder is now 13 of his last 27 (.481) in his last seven games while raising his average from .216 to .276. Harang has endured a difficult start to his 12th season in the majors, but appears to be turning it around. The 34-year-old picked up his first win last week against Baltimore and gave up just two runs over six innings, striking out six to lower his ERA to from 8.68 to 7.30. "Weve done our work trying to figure things out and Ive been where I need to be in these last two starts," Harang said. Ibanez drew the Mariners within 2-1 in the seventh with a double off Pittsburgh reliever Jose Contreras, but Jones hit his fourth homer of the year in the eighth and Grilli stayed perfect on save chances this season.

Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal.ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Anaheim Ducks let the sting of their season-opening loss at Colorado carry into their second game at Minnesota. And their improved play led to their first win of the season. Anaheim scored early in the first two periods, Jonas Hiller had 30 saves and Mathieu Perreault had the game-winning goal with 4.9 seconds left in overtime and the Ducks beat the Wild 4-3 on Saturday night. The Ducks needed nearly three full periods to score in their season-opening 6-1 loss to the Avalanche on Wednesday night. But they needed less than two minutes to score against the Wild, and led 2-0 before the game was 6 minutes old. "This is a team that was third overall last year, and they didnt like getting criticized and ridiculed for what happened the last game," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Any headline you read was about how bad we were, so the pride took over a little bit. It was a big factor in the game." Perreaults game-winner came at 4:55 of overtime on a 2-on-1 break with Francois Beauchemin. He dumped the puck to a streaking Beauchemin, who gave it right back to Perreault, and the centre flipped his shot past Niklas Backstrom to give the Ducks their first win of the season. "Nobody in that locker room was happy with the way we lost in the season opener," said Beauchemin, who also assisted on Saku Koivus first-period goal. "We wanted to get back to the way we can play. And even though we didnt play our best game tonight, I thought we came out pretty good." Backstrom finished with 26 saves, and Zach Parise scored two goals for the Wild, who went to overtime for the second straight game, but again failed to pick up a win after opening the season with a shootout loss to the L.A. Kings. Unlike the Ducks, the Wild had felt positive about their season-opening loss -- not so much on Saturday. "Thursday night, we had a real good 55 minutes and couldnt quite finish it off," Keith Ballard said. "Tonight we came out and we werent ready to play. We were down 2-0 to a pretty desperaate hockey team and a pretty skilled hockey team.ddddddddddddAfter that we played a solid game, but you have to clean this up before these things get out of hand." The Wild again looked good on offence, outshooting Anaheim 33-30, including a 17-8 advantage in the second period. But similar to their loss to the Kings, their shots had a hard time finding the back of the net. The Ducks took a 1-0 lead when Koivu redirected a pass from Beauchemin past Backstrom at the 1:40 mark. Four minutes later, Nick Bonino added a power-play goal after picking up Corey Perrys rebound wide open in front of the net to make it 2-0. Minnesota cut Anaheims lead to 2-1 at 11:52 when Parise scored his first goal of the season on a backhand pass from Mikko Koivu on the power play. The Ducks struck again quickly in the second when Jakob Silfverberg scored his second goal of the season on a nice pass from Perreault behind the net. Despite outworking Anaheim in the second, the Wild found themselves trailing by one heading into the final period. Jason Pominvilles slap shot from just above the right circle on the power play at 8:28 of the second made it 3-2. Parises second goal tied it at three 1:15 into the third period after Ballard intercepted a pass at the blue line and found him in front of the net. Parise initially missed on a tip, but he put back his own rebound. "Good to battle back and get a point, but yeah, were not real happy with this one," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. Notes: The Ducks have beaten the Wild five consecutive times. ... Wild C Charlie Coyle left in the middle of the second period with a lower-body injury and did not return. "I dont think its greatly serious, but I also think itd be a stretch to see him in the lineup next week," Yeo said. ... Anaheim has four consecutive one-goal victories in St. Paul. ... Wild D Matt Dumba, 19, made his NHL debut. ... The Ducks will complete their season-opening, three-game road trip on Sunday in Winnipeg.
