Seattle: Julio Rodríguez hit a walk-off single in the 10th inning, Seattle starter Logan Gilbert allowed just one run over seven innings and the Mariners beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 on Saturday night.
The Red Sox took a 3-1 lead on run-scoring singles by Pablo Reyes and Masataka Yoshida in the top of the 10th, but the Mariners quickly answered as Luke Raley drove in Ty France from second in the bottom half of the inning.
After Josh Rojas hit a single to right-center, the ball got past Boston right fielder Wilyer Abreu to advance both runners. J.P. Crawford then hit the ball to second baseman Enmanuel Valdéz, who threw home.
Raley beat the tag at the plate to tie the game, before Rodríguez singled to right-center off rookie Justin Slaten to score Rojas for the first walkoff hit of his professional career.
"As a baseball player we always want to come through in that situation for the team and just kind of send it off,” Rodríguez said. "It felt pretty good to be able to finally have my first one and to be able to help the team in that situation right there.”
