After Casey Schmitt singled, Heliot Ramos singled to right field to score Schmitt for a 2-0 lead. Gilbert then settled in, retiring the next two batters to end the inning.

Seattle tied the game in the fourth inning, capitalizing on defensive miscues. Randy Arozarena reached on a throwing error by third baseman Casey Schmitt and advanced to second. After Cal Raleigh flew out, Josh Naylor singled to left to score Arozarena. Weston Wilson followed with a single to center that brought home Naylor, knotting the game at 2-2. Two more singles and a walk loaded the bases, but Julio Rodríguez flew out to end the threat.

The Giants regained the lead in the fifth. Willy Adames walked, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a double to left by Luis Arraez, his 22nd of the season, making it 3-2.

Seattle answered in the bottom half. Cole Young singled and moved to third on a single by Arozarena. Cal Raleigh grounded into a double play that allowed Young to score and tie the game at 3-3.

The Mariners took the lead for good in the sixth when Luke Raley, pinch-hitting, homered to right center field, his 15th of the season, for a 4-3 advantage.

Seattle added insurance in the seventh. Julio Rodríguez singled to left, and Cole Young followed with a two-run homer to right field, his 13th, scoring Rodríguez and extending the lead to 6-3.
