San Diego starter Randy Vasquez had a quality start of his own. He fanned three, hit a batter and gave up four hits in six innings pitched.

The Mariners' best opportunity against Vasquez came in the bottom of the fourth inning. Left fielder Randy Arozarena hit a two-out single, stole second and right fielder Luke Raley was hit by a pitch to give the M's two runners on. A popout from shortstop J.P. Crawford left both aforementioned hitters stranded on the base paths.

Seattle had several hard-hit balls that failed to leave the yard or land for base hits.

Crawford, third baseman Brendan Donovan and first baseman Josh Naylor all hit balls to center field that died either right before or on the warning track.

Catcher Jhonny Pereda, filling in for recently injured catcher Cal Raleigh, hit a 103.5 mph that was caught by Padres left fielder Ramon Laureano.

Laureano was able to throw out second baseman Cole Young at second after the liner due to the latter misreading the ball landing fairly.

"We'll keep making adjustments. That's what this game is all about," M's manager Dan Wilson said after the game. "Keep making our adjustments. If we have a process that gets balls on the barrels, we're doing something right. But, again, we also want to get balls that fall. We'll just keep grinding away at it."

After Hancock's day was done, San Diego scored its second and final run in the top of the seventh against reliever Cooper Criswell.

Second baseman Sung-Mun Song grounded out but brought home Andujar from third.

The Mariners were able to generate traffic against the Padres' relievers but were unable to bring any home for scores.

Seattle left one runner on base in the seventh inning, the bases loaded in the eighth and two stranded in the ninth.
