Anonymous
The San Francisco Giants came out of the All-Star break swinging, blanking the Seattle Mariners 7-0 on Thursday. Willy Adames crushed his seventh career grand slam, and Bryce Eldridge added a two-run homer to power the offense, according to AP News.
Landen Roupp was sharp on the mound, throwing seven clean innings to lock down the win. The victory gives San Francisco three straight wins and four in their last five games. The Mariners, meanwhile, have now lost six of their last seven games and sit two games below .500.
Adames Grand Slam Powers Giants' Dominant Offensive Night
Willy Adames delivered the big blow with a grand slam — his seventh of his career — giving the Giants a cushion they never needed to give back. Bryce Eldridge followed with a two-run homer to push the lead further, according to Yahoo Sports. The Giants finished with 7 runs on the night, making it a comfortable night for everyone in the San Francisco dugout.
Seattle's pitching had no answer for San Francisco's lineup. The Mariners allowed all 7 runs and could not find a way to slow the Giants' bats in what became a one-sided affair from early on, Oskaloosa reported.
Roupp Throws Seven Dominant Innings Against Mariners
Landen Roupp was the story on the mound. He went seven full innings and kept Seattle's lineup quiet throughout. The Mariners could manage only two hits in the entire game. It was a dominant, efficient performance that gave the Giants' bullpen the night off, according to AP News.
Roupp's outing was exactly what San Francisco needed heading into the second half of the season. Limiting a major-league lineup to two hits over seven innings is a standout performance by any measure, Leader Telegram noted.
Mariners' Skid Deepens as Seattle Drops Sixth in Seven Games
Seattle's struggles continued in a big way Thursday. The Mariners have now lost six of their last seven games. The shutout loss drops them two games below .500, a troubling sign for a team that had playoff hopes entering the season, according to Yahoo Sports Canada.
Getting shut out on just two hits makes the loss even harder to absorb. Seattle will need to find answers fast if they want to stay in playoff contention as the second half of the season gets underway.
Giants Reinstate Susac, Designate Haase Before First Pitch
Before the game, the Giants made a roster move behind the plate. San Francisco reinstated catcher Daniel Susac from the 10-day injured list. To make room, the team designated catcher Eric Haase for assignment, according to Leader Telegram.
The move signals that Susac is healthy and ready to contribute again. With the Giants riding a three-game win streak and playing their best baseball in weeks, having a full roster heading into the second half is a boost for San Francisco.
