SEATTLE (AP) --- Willy Adames hit his seventh career grand slam, Bryce Eldridge
smacked a two-run homer and Landen Roupp threw seven sharp innings as the San
Francisco Giants beat the Seattle Mariners 7-0 on Friday night in their first
game after the All-Star break.
The victory was San Francisco's third in a row and fourth in five games. The
Mariners, meanwhile, mustered only two hits and lost for the sixth time in
seven games to drop two games below .500.
Adames, who also hit a grand slam on May 31, stayed with a hanging slider from
reliever Nick Davila and drove it out to right-center field in the seventh.
With two outs in the fifth, Eldridge hit a towering shot to center off starter
Bryce Miller (4-4) that was out of a leaping Victor Robles' reach. It was
Eldridge's ninth home run this season.
Robles played center field in place of injured Julio Rodrguez, who is
projected to return to Seattle's lineup Saturday.
San Francisco tacked on a run in the sixth when Luis Arraez hit a chopper to
second baseman Cole Young, who committed a costly error when he failed to field
the ball cleanly with two outs and the bases loaded.
Seattle, meanwhile, struggled mightily against Roupp (7-8) and failed to get a
hit until Josh Naylor singled in the fourth.
Roupp was dominant in his previous start, too, throwing a career-high eight
innings in a 10-1 win against Toronto on July 6.
The Giants reinstated catcher Daniel Susac from the 10-day injured list and
designated catcher Eric Haase for assignment before the game.
Up next
Seattle RHP Bryan Woo (7-6, 4.23 ERA) starts the middle game of the series
Saturday against RHP Logan Webb (5-7, 3.86).
