Karinchak took the first pitch clock violation in a regular season game in Seattle that helped J.P. Crawford draw a lead-off walk. It also helped that home plate umpire Mark Carlson called a clear foul tip from Crawford ball four as well to put Crawford aboard. "I think we were just putting good at-bats together, but I'm sure that had something to do with it," France said of Karinchak. "You know, for me, I was just trying to get on time with his fastball. He likes to throw it up in the zone and it's got good carry on it. So he was a little erratic, but just trying to get something good to swing at."
Matt Brash, Paul Sewald and Andrés Muñoz combined for three scoreless innings to secure the shutout effort. Brash had a strikeout of Cleveland star José Ramírez on a knuckle-curve ball in the seventh inning that tied up Ramírez so badly he fell to the ground.
