<p>SEATTLE (AP) — Ben Williamson had an RBI double in the sixth inning, Luis Castillo tossed seven innings, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 on Saturday night.</p>
<p>Williamson, who came in with just one RBI since May 29, patiently waited on a cutter down in the zone from Pirates reliever Caleb Ferguson (0-3) and smacked it into the right-center gap to put the Mariners in front.</p>
<p>It was the only run they would need with Castillo (5-5) easily going through the Pirates' lineup.</p>
<p>The right-hander gave up two singles while striking out a season-high eight. He needed just 99 pitches to tie his season-high for innings.</p>
<p>Matt Brash pitched the eighth, and Andres Munoz got the last three outs for his 20th save.</p>
<p>Pirates starter Mike Burrows gave up three hits and walked four while striking out six in five innings.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Just two hitters into the game, Pirates designated hitter Andrew McCutchen got a hold of a four-seam fastball from Castillo. Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez raced to and collided with the wall in left-center field to take extra bases away from McCutchen.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>Castillo went at least seven innings for the 20th time in 92 starts with the Mariners.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>Mariners RHP George Kirby (2-4, 4.85 ERA) will start against Pirates RHP Paul Skenes (4-7, 2.03) on Sunday.</p>
