The Seattle Mariners and San Francisco Giants combined for 10 runs in their series opener on Tuesday but you should expect runs to be much harder to come by in Game 2 on Wednesday. The Mariners will start Felix Hernandez while the Giants will counter with Johnny Cueto – neither pitcher allowed a single run in his first outing of the season.
King Felix allowed just two hits in 5.1 innings of work with four strikeouts and two walks against the Cleveland Indians last Thursday. Cueto performed even better, as the Giants’ de facto No. 1 took a perfect game into the seventh inning, ultimately allowing just one hit in 7.0 innings.
The Giants scored four runs in the series opener Tuesday, which doubled their production through the first four games of the season. San Fran can thank Joe Panik for what little offense it has received, as the second baseman accounted for the team’s first three runs of the season, all on solo home runs. Offense has been coming a little easier for the Mariners with Seattle plating at least five runs in each of its last three games.
