The series finale against the Rays is in Seattle this afternoon at 1:10.
San Francisco beat Milwaukee 5 to 4 yesterday thanks to a Mike Yastrzemski go-ahead 2-run homer in the 7th. Unfortunately the injury bug keeps biting the pitching staff.

The Seahawks notable positions include some banged up players at tight end and offensive line. Tackle Abe Lucas is on the Physically Unable To Perform list meaning he will have to miss at least the first 4 games of the season. Quarterback Sam Howell will be the lone backup to Geno Smith.
The 49ers will have only one Tight End to back up George Kittle. And only have two tackles as Trent Williams won’t be on the active list due to his contract holdout. Of course, Brandon Aiyuk could still get traded before San Francisco plays the Jets Monday Night September 9th.
