Mariners Face Giants as Season’s Pressure Mounts

SEATTLE, Wash. — The Seattle Mariners will aim to turn their season around as they face the San Francisco Giants in the final game of a three-game series on Sunday, April 6, 2025. With a current record of 3-6, the Mariners are struggling to find their rhythm against a Giants team that stands strong at 7-1.

Mariners’ pitcher Bryan Woo, looking to bounce back after an inconsistent performance, will take the mound against the Giants’ Jordan Hicks. Hicks, who struggled in 2024, showcased a promising start in 2025, raising hopes for a stronger season. Seattle’s offense has had a rocky start, but the collection of seven hits and six walks in their recent game gives fans a glimmer of hope.

Despite this optimism, Mariners manager Scott Servais knows the team needs more against the Giants, particularly given their performance against fastballs this season. ‘We’ve got to be smarter at the plate and make sure we’re capitalizing on our opportunities,’ Servais said before the game.

Jorge Polanco remains sidelined for a second day, as his absence raises questions about his condition. Meanwhile, Dylan Moore shines with a .400 batting average in the early season, providing much-needed support to the lineup. Luke Raley will also make an appearance, starting at first base even with Rowdy Tellez available.

As the Mariners continue to face challenges, fans will be closely watching their performance against the Giants’ pitching. The first pitch on Sunday is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PT, with fans able to catch the action on ROOT Sports or via their mobile app.

‘We have a lot of faith in Bryan, and we’re hoping this is the start of a positive turnaround,’ said Raley in anticipation of the matchup. ‘We’ve got to support him with our bats and play solid defense.’

As the series wraps up at Oracle Park, both teams are keen to secure a victory to gain momentum early in the season. The Giants currently lead the series 2-0 and the Mariners are anxious to avoid a sweep.
