Tough Day in San Francisco
Fellow Mariners fans, it was a challenging game against the Giants today. The final score was Giants 4, Mariners 1, and while our boys put in a spirited effort, the breaks just didn't go our way.
Starting off in the 1st inning, Victor Robles got off to a promising start with a single to left, followed by a stolen base, but unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize with additional hits from our lineup. The Giants couldn't manage anything either, leaving the score tied at 0-0 by the end of the first.
Grinding it Out
The game remained scoreless through three innings, with our defense holding strong and Mitch Garver managing a walk in the 2nd inning. We saw a great defensive play as Willy Adames was caught stealing in the bottom of the 1st, thanks to our sharp catcher. Our lineup faced some struggles with several strikeouts and flyouts, yet J.P. Crawford added some hope by walking and later stealing second.
Mariners Find the Board
In the 5th inning, the action finally heated up when Dylan Moore smashed a thrilling homer to center field, sailing 411 feet! This solo shot put us on the board, narrowing the gap to 2-1 after the Giants had found a couple of runs in the 4th. Ryan Bliss continued the effort with a walk, but unfortunately got picked off and caught stealing. Our small-ball strategy showed some promise, but the Giants' defense kept us contained.

Giants Extend Their Lead
By the bottom of the 6th, Jung Hoo Lee led the Giants' charge with a ground rule double and a run scored off a Matt Chapman double. Their extended lead was buttressed with another score, bringing the tally to 4-1 in favor of the Giants. Despite solid work from our relief pitchers and the batting lineup's determination, it wasn't enough to catch up in the late innings.
Final Innings and Positive Takeaways
In the last efforts of the 9th inning, Moore continued to fight by hitting a single and advancing to second. Luke Raley stepped in with high hopes but was caught swinging, and Crawford's grounding out to third sealed our fate for the day. Despite the loss, there were individual performances to cheer for, reminding us of the talent in our Mariners lineup.
As tough as it was to fall, we've seen glimpses of brilliance that ensure brighter days are ahead. Keep your heads high, Mariners faithful, and let's look forward to the next game!
