Adames hits 7th career grand slam and Roupp goes 7 innings as Giants blank Mariners 7-0

SEATTLE (AP) — Willy Adames hit his seventh career grand slam, Bryce Eldridge smacked a two-run homer and Landen Roupp threw seven sharp innings as the San Francisco Giants beat the Seattle Mariners 7-0 on Friday night in their first game after the All-Star break.

The victory was San Francisco’s third in a row and fourth in five games. The Mariners, meanwhile, mustered only two hits and lost for the sixth time in seven games to drop two games below .500.

Adames, who also hit a grand slam on May 31, stayed with a hanging slider from reliever Nick Davila and drove it out to right-center field in the seventh.

With two outs in the fifth, Eldridge hit a towering shot to center off starter Bryce Miller (4-4) that was out of a leaping Victor Robles’ reach. It was Eldridge’s ninth home run this season.

Robles played center field in place of injured Julio Rodríguez, who is projected to return to Seattle's lineup Saturday.

San Francisco tacked on a run in the sixth when Luis Arraez hit a chopper to second baseman Cole Young, who committed a costly error when he failed to field the ball cleanly with two outs and the bases loaded.

Seattle, meanwhile, struggled mightily against Roupp (7-8) and failed to get a hit until Josh Naylor singled in the fourth.

Roupp was dominant in his previous start, too, throwing a career-high eight innings in a 10-1 win against Toronto on July 6.

The Giants reinstated catcher Daniel Susac from the 10-day injured list and designated catcher Eric Haase for assignment before the game.

Seattle RHP Bryan Woo (7-6, 4.23 ERA) starts the middle game of the series Saturday against RHP Logan Webb (5-7, 3.86).

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Hao-Yu Lee lined a two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Detroit Tigers over the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 on Friday night.

Detroit reliever Keider Montero (6-5) struck out five in 3 1/3 scoreless innings to earn the win, getting Denzer Guzman to ground out with runners on second and third to end the game.

Tigers third baseman Kevin McGonigle preserved the lead when he leaped to grab Oswald Peraza’s high chopper behind the bag with two on and made a long throw to first for the second out of the ninth.

Angels reliever Kirby Yates (0-5) hit a batter with a pitch to open the top of the ninth, walked another with one out and got Kerry Carpenter to fly to shallow left field for the second out. But the right-hander couldn’t put away Lee, whose clutch hit gave Detroit its 10th win in 13 games.

Angels starter Reid Detmers, a top target of contenders looking to acquire a starter before the Aug. 3 trade deadline, allowed four hits, struck out seven and walked none in six shutout innings, effectively mixing his 95 mph fastball with an 86 mph slider and 72 mph slow curve.

Ryan Zeferjahn retired the side in order in the seventh, and Sam Bachman struck out three of four batters in a scoreless eighth for the Angels, who have lost 11 of 13.

Tigers starter Troy Melton, a 25-year-old right-hander who attended nearby Anaheim Canyon High School, allowed one run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out nine and walked four in his first big league appearance at Angel Stadium.

Zach Neto's leadoff single and two walks loaded the bases for the Angels in the first, and Josh Lowe drove in Neto with a grounder to second for a 1-0 lead.

Before the game, the Angels announced they signed first-round draft pick Jared Grindlinger, a two-way standout from nearby Huntington Beach High School who will start his pro career as an outfielder.

Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal (5-5, 3.09 ERA) will oppose Angels RHP Grayson Rodriguez (3-2, 7.55) on Saturday night.
