The Seattle Mariners pulled off a dramatic comeback victory over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, scoring five runs in the final two innings to secure a series win.
The Twins had taken an early lead in the game, scoring three runs in the third inning. But the Mariners responded with a run in the fourth and another in the sixth to tie the game at 3-3.
In the eighth inning, the Mariners took the lead with two runs. Then, in the ninth inning, they added two more runs to extend their lead to 5-3.
The Twins tried to mount a comeback in the bottom of the ninth, but the Mariners’ defense held strong and they were able to secure the win.
The Mariners’ victory was powered by a strong performance from starting pitcher Marco Gonzales, who pitched seven innings and allowed just three runs. He was backed up by a solid bullpen effort from Nick Vincent, who pitched two scoreless innings to close out the game.
The Mariners’ offense was led by shortstop Jean Segura, who had three hits and drove in two runs. Catcher Mike Zunino also had a big day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
The Mariners’ win was their fourth in a row and their sixth in their last seven games. They now have a record of 18-14 and are in second place in the American League West.
The Mariners will look to continue their winning ways when they face the Twins again on Monday night. With another strong performance, they could extend their winning streak to five games and keep their place in the AL West standings.
