SFGiants rookie pitcher Keaton Winn struggled in his second career start and San Francisco’s offense was nowhere to be found in a second consecutive loss to the Mariners.
The rookie did briefly manage to keep the game from spinning out of control in the second. After the Mariners loaded the bases, he threw an elevated fastball that star center fielder Julio Rodriguez bounced harmlessly back to the mound.A day after picking up two hits and a walk, Ford set a career-high with four hits, three of which went for extra bases. He scored the second Mariners run when he raced home on a wild pitch and scored just ahead of Winn's tag.
Ford made one appearance for the Giants last season, when it seemed they made a trade with the Mariners every other week . He was quickly DFA'd and then sent back to the Mariners in what was the second Ford-for-cash trade in two weeks between the two clubs. Ford wasn't a Giant long enough to truly have any feelings of revenge, but Tuesday was special for another reason. It was his 31st birthday.Patrick Bailey was left in the on-deck circle when Mike Yastrzemski struck out to end the game, which meant he didn't get a fourth chance to extend an impressive streak. Bailey flew out twice and struck out, snapping a run of 18 consecutive games reaching base.
