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 Torrent put Olympic captain Hilary Knight on long-term IR – Seattle Sports

Olympians Hilary Knight, Kendall Coyne Schofield and Erin Ambrose have all been placed on long-term injured reserve by their PWHL clubs after sustaining injuries during the Milan Cortina Games.

Knight, a five-time Olympian and captain of the United States team that won gold, will be out of the lineup for the Seattle Torrent indefinitely after sustaining a lower-body injury in Italy, the team announced Friday.

Knight had three goals and three assists for the U.S. at Milan Cortina including a goal in the 2-1 overtime win over Canada in the final. She has three goals and seven assists during the current PWHL season.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.

Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.

“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”

The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.

The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.

Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”

Seattle Kraken fall to Blues 5-1 in 2nd straight loss

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dylan Holloway had a hat trick and added an assist in his return from a sprained ankle, Joel Hofer made 23 saves and the St. Louis Blues came off the Olympic break to beat the Seattle Kraken 5-1 on Thursday night.

St. Louis Blues 5, Seattle Kraken 1: Box score

Jordan Kyrou and Holloway — activated from injured reserve before the game — scored in a 23-second span early in the second period to give St. Louis a 3-1 lead.

Pius Suter added a goal and two assists to help the Blues end a three-game losing streak.

Holloway completed St. Louis’ first hat trick of the season with 3:01 left, scoring into an empty net for his 11th of the season.

Kaapo Kakko tied it at 1 for Seattle in the first period, and Philipp Grubauer stopped 26 shots. The Kraken were coming off a 4-1 loss in Dallas on Wednesday night.

Kyrou made it 2-1 at 1:12 of the second off a feed from Pavel Buchnevich on a break. Holloway poked the puck past Grubauer off a scramble at 1:35. Suter scored at 1:56 of the third.

St. Louis’ Cam Fowler appeared in his 1,100th game, becoming the 10th active defenseman in the NHL to reach the mark.
