A Promising Start
Our Seattle Mariners put up a valiant effort against the San Francisco Giants, but alas, we fell just short with a final score of 4-5. The energy was palpable as Julio Rodríguez got us on the board early with a stellar solo homer to left center, covering an impressive 423 feet! Then, Cal Raleigh showed his power with a 347-foot blast to right in the third inning, giving us a comfortable 2-0 lead early in the game.
Momentum Shifts
Unfortunately, our lead was challenged in the fourth inning. The Giants rallied back with a game-changing homer by Mike Yastrzemski, taking the lead 4-2.
Our relief pitcher couldn't contain their lineup, which let them capitalize on critical hits and errors.Fighting Back
The Mariners didn't quit though! Ryan Bliss gave us some hope in the sixth inning with a clutch single to left, scoring Luke Raley, trimming the Giants' lead to one run. And then in the ninth, it was Randy Arozarena's time to shine, delivering a massive double to left, scoring Victor Robles and tying the game at 4-4! The tension was off the charts as we neared a potential victory!
Heartbreaking Finish
Despite our efforts, the bottom of the ninth proved to be the decisive blow. A single from pinch-hitter Wilmer Flores allowed Luis Matos to score, sealing the win for the Giants. Of course, it's never easy losing such a tight game, but our team showed heart throughout. Let's take this tenacious spirit forward as we face more challenges in the season ahead. Always proud to be a Mariners fan!
