First Inning


The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Mariners managed one hit in their opening inning but failed to convert it into runs. Meanwhile, the Padres went down in order without registering any hits or runs.


Second Inning


As the second inning unfolded, San Diego's bats started to show some life as they recorded two hits. However, they couldn't bring any runners across home plate due to Seattle's solid defensive play and pitching prowess.

Third Inning


The third inning mirrored much of what had transpired earlier in the game; neither team could break through defensively nor offensively despite each having chances with men on base.


Fourth Inning


In an exciting turn during this period for fans present at PETCO Park was when Manny Machado stepped up big time by hitting his first homerun which brought cheers from all around stadium stands! This solo shot put Slam Diego ahead momentarily until later innings would change course again...

Fifth Inning


Seattle responded quickly after being down briefly following Machado’s blast - scoring one run themselves thanks largely due strong hitting efforts combined alongside strategic baserunning decisions made throughout entire frame itself!


Sixth & Seventh Innings


Both teams continued battling hard through these middle frames yet neither could gain significant advantage over other side just yet... It seemed like anyone’s ballgame still heading towards latter stages now looming large upon horizon line ahead!


Eighth & Ninth Innings


With tension mounting ever higher among players coaches alike – especially given how close contest remained overall thus far already seen unfold before eyes watching intently nearby stands filled eager spectators cheering loudly every pitch thrown strike called out loud clear voice echoing across field surface below them all around too boot even louder than usual perhaps?


Ultimately though despite best efforts put forth valiantly by both sides involved here today unfortunately only one emerged victorious end result being decided favorably toward visiting squad hailing from Emerald City itself instead leaving hometown faithful somewhat disappointed albeit hopeful brighter days lie ahead soon enough surely right?
