Tue Apr 08 03:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Mariners Swept by Giants, Offensive Woes Continue
**SAN FRANCISCO** – The Seattle Mariners suffered a 4-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night, falling behind in their opening road series and facing a potential sweep on Sunday. Former Mariner Robbie Ray, pitching for his new team, held Seattle to just one run over six innings, effectively silencing a Mariners offense that continues to struggle.
The Mariners’ bats, which showed promise in Friday’s 10-9 loss, went cold against Ray. Despite drawing six walks and collecting seven hits, they faltered significantly in scoring position, batting a dismal .121 (7 for 58) with runners in scoring position over the first nine games of the season. Manager Dan Wilson acknowledged the team’s struggles but expressed confidence in their ability to improve.
Dylan Moore’s fifth-inning solo home run off Ray accounted for the Mariners’ lone run, his second homer in as many games and second against a Cy Young Award winner. While the Mariners attempted aggressive base running, resulting in both successful and unsuccessful stolen base attempts, their offensive woes overshadowed their base-running efforts.
Bryce Miller started for the Mariners but struggled, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He attributed his poor performance to a lack of command. The Giants’ offense capitalized on Miller’s struggles, with key hits by Jung Hoo Lee and Matt Chapman leading to early runs.
Despite the loss, there were some bright spots for the Mariners. Jesse Hahn, making his first MLB appearance in four years, pitched two scoreless innings in relief, showcasing his recovery from major shoulder surgery. The Mariners will look to Bryan Woo, a Bay Area native and former Giants fan, to prevent a series sweep in Sunday’s finale. The Mariners currently sit at 3-6, while the Giants boast a 7-1 record.
