Seattle answered in the fourth, with Josh Naylor's single scoring Randy Arozarena and We. Wilson's single tying the game at 2-2 by plating Naylor. The Giants briefly regained the lead in the fifth on Luis Arraez's RBI double, but Seattle tied it right back in the bottom half when Cal Raleigh grounded into a double play that still brought Cole Young home. Luke Raley's home run to right center in the sixth put the Mariners ahead for good at 4-3, and Cole Young added a two-run shot in the seventh, scoring Julio Rodríguez, to make it 6-3.
Giants starter Robbie Ray lasted 4.0 innings, allowing 3 runs, only 1 earned, on 7 hits with 6 strikeouts, but did not factor in the decision.
