SEATTLE — Leo Rivas lined a game-ending single that scored Dylan Moore in the bottom of the 10th inning, and the Seattle Mariners rallied late for a 6-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.

The first game under new manager Dan Wilson was memorable even if it took the Mariners until the eighth inning before their bats warmed up. Seattle scored four times in the eighth inning to pull even at 5-5 then saw Rivas come through in the 10th.

“Just seeing the way these guys fought was, it was inspiring tonight for me to see how hard they worked to come back into that game, string all those hits together,” Wilson said. “It left with a good feeling.”

Pinch runner Moore stole third base with one out and Rivas lined a 2-2 pitch from Erik Miller (3-5) into center field to set off a celebration as Seattle won for just the second time in 10 games.

“I was trying to do the same thing that I try and do in every at-bat, make contact, try and do my thing for the team,” Rivas said. “Thank God [Moore] got the base, different situation, same approach. Thank God it happened.”

Luke Raley homered for Seattle, but it was a big eighth-inning rally that gave the Mariners a chance. Seattle sent nine batters to the plate and scored four times on the strength of six consecutive singles off San Francisco reliever Tyler Rogers. Justin Turner, Josh Rojas, Rivas and Raley all had RBI singles that helped pull Seattle even at 5-5.

The four earned runs allowed by Rogers were the most since giving up seven to the Mets in May 2022.

“Felt like we had it in our hands,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said. “We had our two best pitchers coming into the game in the eighth and ninth. Got away from Tyler a little bit.”

Julio Rodríguez made a terrific sliding catch to rob Tyler Fitzgerald of a hit leading off the top of the 10th and Collin Snider (3-2) struck out Heliot Ramos and Michael Conforto to keep the game tied. Rodriguez played his first game in the field since injuring his ankle in mid-July.

Lamonte Wade Jr. hit a solo shot, and Conforto and Ramos both hit a two-run homers to account for the Giants’ offense. The three homers all came off Seattle starter Luis Castillo, but the Giants couldn’t put anything together offensively against Seattle’s bullpen.

The Mariners’ victory came a day after Wilson took over as the manager following the dismissal of Scott Servais on Thursday with the team in the midst of a two-month slide.

“The way everybody chipped in and put up great at-bats, the bullpen, it just felt like a complete win all around for everybody,” Wilson said.

Ex-Ohtani interpreter reports to federal prison

Ippei Mizuhara, the disgraced former interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, is in federal prison in Pennsylvania, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons told ESPN on Monday.

Mizuhara, 40, was ordered to surrender to federal authorities by Monday. He is in custody at Federal Correctional Institution Allenwood Low, a low-security facility, after being sentenced to 57 months in prison for stealing nearly $17 million from Ohtani.

Mizuhara was initially ordered to report to prison in March, but a federal judge granted the delay. The reasons for the delay remain under seal.

Mizuhara’s attorney declined ESPN’s request for comment, but previously stated that he expects Mizuhara, a Japanese citizen, to eventually be deported.

The Dodgers fired Mizuhara in March 2024 after an ESPN investigation revealed he sent millions in wire transfers from Ohtani’s account to an illegal bookmaker. He pleaded guilty to bank fraud and filing a false tax return in June 2024, admitting that he placed about 19,000 bets with the bookie over a two-year period and accumulated over $40 million in debt.

The bookmaker, Mathew Bowyer, pleaded guilty in August to running an illegal gambling business, money laundering and subscribing a false tax return. He is awaiting sentencing.
