Twins Rally From 6 Down Before Falling to Mariners in 9th
On Sunday, Colt Emerson singled past the drawn-in infield to score pinch-runner Stuart Fairchild, giving the Seattle Mariners a 7-6 walk-off victory over the Minnesota Twins at T-Mobile Park.
After seven scoreless innings from starter George Kirby, the Mariners squandered their 6-0 lead as the Twins scored five runs in the eighth and tied it on Luke Keaschall's ninth-inning home run.
Cole Young recorded four of Seattle's 14 hits, while Minnesota's Josh Naylor extended his active on-base streak to 24 consecutive games, the longest in the majors.
Reliever Andres Munoz earned the win despite allowing the game-tying home run, and the Minnesota Twins travel to Kansas City to begin a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.
Trade rumors surrounding key players persisted throughout the weekend leading up to Monday's deadline, adding pressure to the Mariners' roster management as they pursue back-to-back walk-off victories.
