Game Updates
The Seattle Mariners snatched a dramatic 5-4 walk-off victory from the Texas Rangers on Sunday afternoon, riding a clutch performance from their middle infield to complete the comeback. Down 4-3 in the ninth, J.P. Crawford delivered the game-tying two-run homer with just 9 pitches seen, his second hit of the day, before Julio Rodríguez sealed it with a towering solo shot—his 22nd of the season—on the seventh pitch of his at-bat. Rodríguez, who finished 2-for-4 with two RBI, had struggled against Jacob deGrom early but flipped the script late, while Crawford’s three-run, two-hit effort proved pivotal in a game where Seattle’s bats were otherwise quiet for much of the afternoon.
The Rangers’ offense had been carried by Adolis García, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with a homer and two runs scored, but their bullpen faltered at the worst moment. After deGrom struck out five over five innings, Seattle’s relievers—led by Andrés Muñoz’s dominant 1-2-3 ninth—shut the door, setting the stage for the Mariners’ late heroics. The win keeps Seattle’s playoff push alive, while Texas, despite García’s brilliance, leaves town with a missed opportunity to gain ground in a tight division race.
