Seattle MarinersvsMiami Marlins
SEA 5/MIA 6
Things to say
The Marlins walked off the Mariners 6-5 in 10 innings at loanDepot park.
01
opener
Marlins-Mariners went to extras, 6-5 Miami. Free baseball on a getaway day. Seattle had it and let it slip in the tenth.
02
key player
Whoever drove in that winning run in the tenth earned his paycheck. Miami's heart of the order finally woke up when it mattered.
03
hot take
Seattle's bullpen blew this one. You go to the pen too early in a one-run game and this is what you get.
04
deep cut
This thing was tied late and neither starter got the decision. Both went deep, both left it to the relievers, classic extra-innings coin flip.
05
exit
Anyway, one-run games in July, that's a playoff race. Let's see if Seattle bounces back tomorrow.
The recap
Marlins walked it off in the tenth to steal a 6-5 nail-biter from Seattle at loanDepot park. The Mariners had this thing in their pocket, but couldn't slam the door once it went to extras and the free runner started dancing off second.
Miami just kept scratching and clawing, and one swing in the tenth flipped the whole night. That's a gut-punch loss for Seattle, who'll be kicking themselves for letting a one-run edge slip in the getaway spot.
