The Mariners showcased their defensive skills by maintaining a flawless fielding percentage throughout the game. Notably, players like Ty France and Leonardo Rivas stood out with their perfect fielding performances. France also contributed significantly on offense with a batting average of .333 and an on-base plus slugging (OPS) of .666. Similarly impressive was Jarred Kelenic who matched France's batting average and OPS, proving crucial in keeping the pressure on the Giants' pitchers.


On the mound for the Mariners, George Kirby delivered an outstanding performance with an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 across his innings pitched. His ability to keep his walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) at 1.2 while striking out batters at a rate of 10.8 per nine innings played a pivotal role in keeping the Giants' scoring opportunities limited.


The San Francisco Giants also demonstrated commendable effort despite not being able to secure runs. Their pitching staff worked hard to maintain a shutout against the Mariners' lineup which has shown potential for explosive offense in past games.
