San Francisco GiantsvsSeattle Mariners
SF 3/SEA 4
Things to say
The Seattle Mariners beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 in 10 innings at T-Mobile Park.
01
opener
Man, Mariners took it 4-3 but they made you sweat. Went to extras, walk-off in the tenth. Giants had that one and just couldn't close it out.
02
key player
Seattle's starter was the story for me. Went seven, kept the heart of their order off balance all night. Nobody could get into his stuff.
03
hot take
SF manager went to the pen way too early. You've got a lead and you're pulling a guy who's cruising? That's how you lose a getaway day.
04
deep cut
The quiet thing was Seattle's OBP up top. Kept working walks, kept turning the lineup over. That pressure is what set up the tenth.
05
exit
Anyway, at 49-50 they're right on the bubble. We'll see if they can string a couple together before the road trip.
The recap
Extra innings at T-Mobile, and Seattle walked it off 4-3 in the tenth to snap a tight one against San Francisco. This thing was knotted up for nine straight, the kind of grind where every pitcher on both sides was earning their keep.
The Mariners finally pushed the winning run across in the tenth to steal a game they had no business making that hard on themselves. Giants let a winnable one slip on the road and drop to 42-56.
