Mariners Use Improbable Rally to Stun Yankees; Here’s How it Happened

The Seattle Mariners beat the New York Yankees on Monday night at Yankee Stadium, 5-4. It was the most improbable win of the season for the M’s, who trailed 4-1 in the top of the ninth inning. The win moves the Mariners to 26-22 while the loss halts the seven-game win streak for the Yankees. As we do after every game, here’s a look at how it happened:

This one is a lesson in “it ain’t over, ’til it’s over.” The Mariners slept walk through the first seven innings, getting nothing going against starter Marcus Stroman. They finally scored against him in the eighth inning when Dom Canzone connected for a home run and ended his night. That made the deficit 3-1, which the Yankees pushed to 4-1 heading into the ninth, which set the stage for the dramatic comeback.

Amazingly enough, after getting Stroman for just three hits in 7.1 innings, the M’s scored four runs off Yankees’ closer Clay Holmes in the ninth, who entered the game with an ERA of 0.00.

Credit to the Mariners’ pitching staff, which turned multiple double plays that kept the team in the game. With the bases loaded in the fourth, Logan Gilbert got Jon Berti to hit into an inning-ending double play. Eduard Bazardo did the same thing in the seventh inning, getting Giancarlo Stanton to hit into the twin-killing.

In the ninth, all the drama started with one out. Julio Rodriguez hit an infield single and Cal Raleigh walked. Luke Raley hit an infield single and Rodriguez scored on a throwing error. Raley and Raleigh each moved up a base.

Then, Mitch Haniger hit a single to bring in a run to make it 4-3 and Canzone tied it with a sac fly. Ty France ultimately had the game-winning RBI with a single to right.

Then, in the bottom of the ninth, closer Andres Munoz struck out Aaron Judge on a 101 MPH fastball with one out and one on. He got Alex Verdugo to ground to first to end the game.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to eight games….Munoz got his ninth save and lowered his ERA to 1.77…. Raley went 3-for-4 for the second straight day and is now hitting .311… JP Crawford came back from the injured list and entered as a pinch-hitter, going 0-for-2…Gilbert threw another quality start, going 6.0 innings and allowing three earned runs…Holmes threw 31 pitches for New York, which is big for the rest of the series.

The two teams will play again on Tuesday at 4:05 p.m. PT.

Seattle Seahawks Injury Updates: Status of trio of DBs

There were Seattle Seahawks injury updates on Friday regarding three defensive backs coming out of the Hawks’ overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football.

Seahawks’ Derick Hall suspended one game for stepping on player

Here’s a look at the updates, as well as insight from head coach Mike Macdonald and additional information from ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler.

• The biggest concern for the Seahawks coming out of the game is safety Coby Bryant, who has a knee injury. Macdonald said in a press conference Friday that Bryant would “get imaged,” meaning undergo an MRI. Fowler reported on social media that, per sources, Bryant is “expected to miss ‘some time’ based on initial tests.”

• Cornerback Riq Woolen has a knee concern of his own, but Fowler reported that it’s “not considered serious” and that, per a source, Woolen “more so got ‘banged up.’”

• Versatile defensive back Nick Emmanwori was evaluated for a concussion late in Thursday’s game, but Macdonald said he cleared concussion protocol.

The Seahawks improved to 12-3 with their win over the Rams, giving them a one-game lead over Los Angeles for both first place in the NFC West and the No. 1 seed to the postseason out of the NFC. The Seahawks also clinched a playoff spot with the dramatic comeback victory.

The next Seahawks game will be at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 28 on the road against the Carolina Panthers (7-7). Radio coverage on Seattle Sports will begin at 7 a.m. that day with the pregame show.

Roster Moves: Seattle Seahawks activate Young off IR

The Seattle Seahawks activated wide receiver Dareke Young from injured reserve and elevated running back Cam Akers and offensive tackle Amari Knight off the practice squad Thursday ahead of their pivotal primetime showdown against the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field.

Bump & Stacy: 3 keys for Seattle Seahawks to beat the Rams

Young, 26, has missed Seattle’s past eight games with a quadricep injury. The fourth-year pro is a key special teams member for the Seahawks and was on the field for over 50% of the team’s special teams snaps in each of the six games he’s played this season. He has seven tackles and 10 kickoff returns for 322 yards. He also has two receptions for 48 yards.

Akers, 26, would be making his Seahawks debut against his former team if he gets into Thursday’s game. He played in three games for the Minnesota Vikings earlier this season and totaled 19 yards on five carries.

A sixth-year pro, Akers spent three-plus seasons with the Rams after they selected him in the second round of the 2020 draft out of Florida State. Akers’ best season with Los Angeles came in 2022 when he rushed for career highs of 786 yards and seven touchdowns. He has 2,044 yards and 13 TDs on the ground in 56 career NFL games.

Knight, 24, provides the Seahawks with some depth at tackle with starting left tackle Charles Cross ruled out for Thursday’s game with a hamstring injury. Veteran backup Josh Jones is getting the start in place of Cross.

Knight went undrafted out of UCF and made his pro debut in Seattle’s Week 4 win over Arizona.

The Seahawks face the Rams on Thursday night at 5:15 p.m. Radio coverage begins at 2 p.m. with the pregame show on Seattle Sports 710 AM and the Seattle sports app.
