But Marlins manager Don Mattingly had a decision to make, with Chen at 100 pitches after squirming out of a jam in the seventh (a walk and hit batter). Chen was pulled after seven, and Ziegler got three groundouts to complete the eighth.
Miami Marlins pitcher Wei-Yin Chen didn't give up a single hit through seven innings of work on Tuesday as the Marlins shut out the Seattle Mariners 5-0.
A Christian Yelich fourth-inning single was Miami's only damage against Miranda until the third time through the order, and Yelich's solo homer in the ninth inning accounted for the lone Marlins' run of the night.
Martin Perez (1-2) gave up four runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings.
Rookie Mitch Haniger extended his hitting streak to 13 games with three hits and four RBIs, and Seattle won for the fifth time in six games.
In his last at-bat of the year - and maybe ever - at Safeco, Ichiro ripped into a fastball up in the zone, planting it just beyond the right-field wall, his 3,033rd major league hit and his first home run against the Mariners.
Ichiro may play with the Marlins now, but he spent 12 seasons in Seattle with the Mariners. It was the 115th career home run for the 43-year-old Miami Marlins outfielder and the first against his former team.

Apparently, Clements grabbed Chastain by the shoulder as all of the drivers exited their cars during the delay. Elliott Sadler (fourth) leads the point standings by 16 points over William Byron (finished 12th).
Hernandez (2-1) was far from his best, allowing five hits in the first inning, four before recording an out.
Miranda (1-1) allowed four singles and only one runner to reach second base while striking out five.
The Mariners added two runs in the fourth.
Again the Mariners answered when Cruz and Seager opened the bottom of the inning with successive doubles for a 4-3 lead.
Addison Russell hit a three-run homer off Neftali Feliz that capped a four-run ninth inning and lifted the Chicago Cubs over the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 Wednesday. It tied Miranda's longest start as a Mariner, and he never before had an outing of more than six innings in which he held the opposition scoreless. Gallardo is 5-1 with a 1.90 ERA and 44 strikeouts in his career against the Marlins.
