For the fourth time in four World Series games, the Padres’ offense struck first. This time they kept piling on and, with the help of three strong pitching appearances, rolled to a comfortable 11-2 win. Everyone in the starting lineup recorded at least one hit, with four Friars notching three or more.
The only time the Mariners threatened was in the bottom of the third inning, with the Padres holding the 2-0 lead they took in the first thanks to a leadoff home run from Manuel Margot and a sacrifice fly by Adam Jones.
