On the SF Giants podcast with Marko:

The San Francisco Giants got a big break in the ninth inning on a Pablo Sandoval infield hit that Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon couldn’t handle the ball and threw it away past first baseman Ryon Healy to allow the Giants Steven Duggar to score from second base.

Sandoval came in as a pinch hitter for Chase d’Arnaud in the third inning earlier in the game and got an infield single that allowed Kelby Tomlinson to score. The Giants Hunter Pence hit his first home run of 2018 a 445 foot blast in thel leftfield upper deck.

The loss for the Mariners decreases the lead they had on the Oakland A’s down to just 1.1/2 games in the AL West and for a wild card spot. Giants pitcher Andrew Suarez pitched 5.2 innings, 3 runs, 8 hits, walked two batters and struck out one.
