Giants Aim to Secure Series Win Against Mariners
The San Francisco Giants are looking to keep their momentum going as they face the Seattle Mariners in the decisive rubber match of their three-game interleague series on Sunday afternoon in Seattle. After a hard-fought 4-3 victory on Saturday, the Giants are poised to continue their push with strong performances from both their pitching staff and offense.
Doval’s Impactful Return to the Mound
One of the big highlights for the Giants was the return of reliever Camilo Doval. After struggling earlier in the season and blowing five of 27 save opportunities, Doval was sent down to Triple-A Sacramento. However, his time in the minors seems to have done wonders for him. On Saturday, Doval delivered 1 1/3 hitless innings in a setup role, showing off his improved command and composure on the mound.
“I don’t know that it could have gone better,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said. “He worked on all the things that we asked him to. You look at the numbers and what he accomplished—he was throwing strikes, quicker to the plate. Everything we hoped for.”
During his stint in Sacramento, Doval had a crucial meeting with former Giants pitcher Johnny Cueto, who mentored him when he first made it to the majors in 2021. Cueto’s advice helped Doval regain his confidence and refine his approach.
“We talked for a bit,” Doval told MLB.com. “He told me to trust my stuff and remember who I am. That’s going to help get me back to where I was and make me even better.”
Although Doval is eager to return to the closer role, he’s focused on contributing wherever the Giants need him most.
“The results speak for themselves,” Doval said. “I think it’s going to come down to the numbers. I’ll keep working and see what happens.”
Yastrzemski Powers Giants’ Offense
On the offensive side, Mike Yastrzemski was the star of Saturday’s game, going 3-for-4 with a double and a home run. Yastrzemski’s bat was crucial in a game where the Giants’ offense provided just enough support for their bullpen, which held the Mariners to four hits despite issuing nine walks.
The Giants’ pitching staff, described as “effectively wild,” managed to navigate through the Mariners’ lineup, preventing Seattle from capitalizing on multiple scoring chances.
Mariners Look to Bounce Back
The Mariners, who have now dropped nine of their last 11 games, are looking to bounce back and secure a series win on Sunday. Newly appointed manager Dan Wilson, who stepped in after Scott Servais was let go on Thursday, praised the Mariners’ at-bats but acknowledged that the Giants’ bullpen was tough to crack.
“You’ve got to tip your cap sometimes,” Wilson said. “Their bullpen was pretty tough—a couple of guys went a couple innings. We created some traffic, but we just couldn’t get them in.”
Despite the loss, Wilson remains optimistic about the series finale. “We still have a chance to win the series on Sunday. Just gotta keep grinding,” he added.
Pitching Matchup: Ray vs. Woo
On Sunday, the Giants will send left-hander Robbie Ray (3-2, 4.88 ERA) to the mound. Ray, who played a key role in ending the Mariners’ 21-year postseason drought in 2022 before an injury cut his 2023 season short, is coming off a strong outing against the Chicago White Sox. In that game, Ray allowed just one run on three hits over 6 2/3 innings, with no walks and nine strikeouts. Ray has a 1-1 record with a 3.60 ERA in five career starts against Seattle.
The Mariners will counter with right-hander Bryan Woo (5-2, 2.12 ERA), who’s been lights-out in August, posting a 1.67 ERA in four starts. Woo took a tough-luck loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday despite allowing only two runs on two hits over 6 1/3 innings. Woo, a Bay Area native and lifelong Giants fan, is 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA in one career start against San Francisco.
Giants and Mariners Face Off in Pivotal Series Finale
As the Giants and Mariners prepare for Sunday’s finale, both teams have a lot on the line. The Giants are looking to capitalize on their strong bullpen performances and secure a series win, while the Mariners hope to snap their recent skid and get back on track. With a promising pitching matchup between Ray and Woo, the series finale in Seattle is shaping up to be a closely contested battle.
The Lean
Today’s Giants vs. Mariners game is projected to be a low-scoring game, but with the line sitting at 7.5 runs, we are still leaning towards taking the over. As for who is going to take this one straight up, we have our lean on the Giants to pick up the win. Comparing the two starters for this matchup, we have Robbie Ray as our 2nd best strikeout option compared to Bryan Woo, who has the 4th best odds among today’s starters.
