SEATTLE – Gavin Sheets homered twice and drove in four runs, Lucas Giolito won his San Diego debut and the Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 8-3 on Sunday to sweep their six-game season series.<\/p>\n
Giolito, who signed a one-year contract with San Diego in April<\/a>, was called up from Double-A San Antonio before the game to make his first start of the year. The veteran right-hander allowed only one hit, but was lifted after issuing three consecutive walks to begin Seattle’s three-run sixth inning.<\/p>\n Giolito (1-0) was otherwise strong, aside from hitting Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford in the right triceps with a fastball in the third. Crawford exited in the fifth and was replaced by Leo Rivas.<\/p>\n Sheets gave the Padres a 1-0 advantage with a homer to right field off George Kirby (5-3) in the first. The outfielder then pounced on a hanging changeup from Kirby in the sixth, smacking it into the right-field bleachers for a two-run shot. Sheets added an RBI double in the seventh and finished 3 for 3 with two walks.<\/p>\n San Diego scored five runs against Kirby in the sixth to break open the game. Jackson Merrill had an RBI double and Ty France plated a pair with a two-out single that made it 7-0.<\/p>\n France had three hits and three RBIs, including a run-scoring single in the fifth.<\/p>\n Mariners third baseman and top prospect Colt Emerson made his major league debut<\/a> and reached base for the first time in the sixth with a leadoff walk against Giolito. Emerson, a natural shortstop, played a clean third base in place of utilityman Brendan Donovan, who landed on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain<\/a>.<\/p>\n Up next <\/p>\n Padres RHP Michael King (3-2, 2.63 ERA) faces Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3-3, 3.60) in San Diego on Monday night.<\/p>\n Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (3-2, 3.91 ERA) starts Monday night against Chicago White Sox lefty Noah Schultz (2-2, 4.91).<\/p>\n The Source: Information in this story came from The Associated Press.<\/p>\n MORE MARINERS NEWS FROM FOX 13 SEATTLE <\/p>\n Seattle Mariners call up top prospect Colt Emerson<\/a><\/p>\n Padres slug past Mariners at T-Mobile Park<\/a><\/p>\n Padres hit three home runs off Logan Gilbert as Seattle Mariners lose 7-4<\/a><\/p>\n Seattle Mariners shutout 2-0 as Randy V\u00e1squez throws six scoreless innings for Padres<\/a><\/p>\n Seattle Mariners not expecting lengthy absence for Cal Raleigh due to oblique injury<\/a><\/p>\n To get the best local news, weather and sports in Seattle for free, sign up for the daily\u00a0FOX Seattle Newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Download the free FOX LOCAL app for mobile in the\u00a0Apple App Store<\/a> or\u00a0Google Play Store<\/a> for live Seattle news, top stories, weather updates and more local and national news.<\/p>\n Seattle Mariners<\/a>Sports<\/a>MLB<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article SEATTLE, WA – MAY 17: Gavin Sheets #30 of the San Diego Padres celebrates with teammate Manny…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":678349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,5143,591,85],"class_list":["post-678348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mariners","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=678348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/678349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=678348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=678348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=678348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
