Second Inning


The second inning saw the Emerald City team take an early lead by scoring 2 runs, capitalizing on solid hitting and strategic base running. The Friars struggled to find their rhythm initially, managing no hits or runs during this period.


Third Inning


In the third inning, Seattle extended its lead by adding another run to its tally. Despite efforts from Padres' pitcher Yu Darvish to contain them, his pitches were met with resistance as Mariners hitters found gaps in San Diego's defense.


Sixth Inning


San Diego finally broke through in the sixth inning when Xander Bogaerts managed to drive in a run for Slam Diego. This was followed by Fernando Tatis Jr., who showcased his prowess by contributing significantly to narrowing down Seattle's lead.


Seventh Inning


A pivotal moment came during this inning when Manny Machado stepped up and delivered two crucial RBIs that brought hope back into Friars’ dugout. However, despite these efforts and increased pressure on Mariners’ bullpen, they couldn’t completely close down Seattle’s advantage.


Eighth and Ninth Innings


Seattle responded strongly in both innings by scoring twice each time which further cemented their dominance over San Diego throughout most parts of this matchup. Although Padres managed one more run towards end courtesy of Jake Cronenworth’s hit; it wasn’t enough as they fell short ultimately against well-coordinated plays from Emerald City squad leading them towards victory line-up today!
