SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — J.A. Happ hit his spot the first time he faced Matt Duffy only to watch the ball leave the ballpark.
Duffy helped wake up San Francisco's silent bats with a two-run homer in the second inning and added an RBI single in a three-run eighth that helped the Giants snap a nine-game home losing streak by beating the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Tuesday.
"The pitch before was also down and in," Happ said. "How many people hit that ball where it was? That was pretty frustrating. I wasn't as sharp as I wanted to be but I gave us some innings and a chance.
