Mariners Rally for Dramatic 6-5 Victory Over Giants in Wilson's Debut

SEATTLE – In a thrilling finish, the Seattle Mariners secured a 6-5 victory against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night, marking the first game under new manager Dan Wilson. The Mariners struggled offensively until the eighth inning, where they erupted for four runs to tie the game at 5-5. Key contributions came from Justin Turner, Josh Rojas, Leo Rivas, and Luke Raley, all of whom delivered crucial RBI singles. Julio Rodriguez, returning to the field after an ankle injury, showcased his defensive prowess with a spectacular sliding catch to start the 10th inning. Collin Snider, who earned the win, struck out two Giants batters to maintain the tie before Rivas clinched the game with a single that brought Dylan Moore home in the bottom of the 10th. The victory was particularly significant as it followed the dismissal of former manager Scott Servais amid a two-month slump for the team. On the Giants' side, the game saw the debut of catcher Andrew Knapp, who was signed earlier that day to fill in for the injured Patrick Bailey. Meanwhile, the Mariners faced a setback with the placement of right-hander Yimi García on the 15-day injured list due to elbow inflammation, prompting the recall of left-hander Gabe Speier from Triple-A Tacoma. Looking ahead, the Giants will rely on left-hander Blake Snell, who is set to pitch in his hometown, aiming to continue his impressive form with a 1.03 ERA and 70 strikeouts over his last eight starts.
