SEATTLE — Leo Rivas lined a game-ending single that scored Dylan Moore in the bottom of the 10th inning, and the Seattle Mariners rallied late for a 6-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
The first game under new manager Dan Wilson was memorable even if it took the Mariners until the eighth inning before their bats warmed up. Seattle scored four times in the eighth inning to pull even at 5-5, then saw Rivas come through in the 10th.
“Just seeing the way these guys fought was, it was inspiring tonight for me to see how hard they worked to come back into that game, string all those hits together. It left with a good feeling,” Wilson said.
Pinch-runner Moore stole third base with one out and Rivas lined a 2-2 pitch from Erik Miller (3-5) into center field to set off a celebration as Seattle won for just the second time in the 10 games.
