Giants visit Mariners as both seek traction SEATTLE (Interstat) — The San Francisco Giants, looking to build on a series win, visit the Seattle Mariners on Friday at T-Mobile Park in a matchup of two teams trying to find consistency in the middle of July. Right-hander Landen Roupp (6-8) is scheduled to start for San Francisco (41-55), which took three of four from Colorado at home in its last series, including a 3-1 win Sunday. Roupp will face Seattle right-hander Bryce Miller (4-3). The Mariners (48-49) are coming off an 8-2 win Sunday at Tampa Bay, snapping a six-game losing streak. Giants right-hander Trevor McDonald has been a key arm out of the bullpen recently. On July 12, he pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, striking out four in a win against the Rockies. That performance came after a rough outing July 7, when he allowed eight earned runs in 2 1/3 innings. McDonald has shown flashes of dominance, including six scoreless innings on July 1 at Arizona and five innings of three-run ball June 26 against Atlanta. For Seattle, shortstop J.P. Crawford singled, doubled and drove in three runs Sunday at Tampa Bay. However, he has hit safely in just five of his last nine games, going 8-for-27 (.296) in that span. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 5-4 Mariners victory. Seattle is a -1.5 favorite, with an over/under of 7. A win would push Seattle above .500 and keep them in the playoff hunt, while the Giants look to climb out of last place in the NL West. The teams continue the series Saturday and Sunday before San Francisco heads to Kansas City for three games starting Monday. Seattle returns home to host Cincinnati for three games beginning Monday.
