Ruiz returns as Mariners rally past Phillies 10-9
Credit: The Associated PressPHILADELPHIA — Carlos Ruiz watched the video tribute, tipped his cap in thanks and earned a standing ovation from an appreciative Philadelphia crowd.
Just like he did all those years when the Phillies were the toast of the National League, Ruiz walked away a winner.
Taylor Motter had the go-ahead double in the ninth inning, Ben Gamel had four hits and the Seattle Mariners overcame two four-run deficits to beat the Phillies 10-9 on Tuesday night in Ruiz's return to Philadelphia.
Gamel went 4 for 5 with a three-run home run, two singles, a double and scored three runs. The right fielder threw out the potential go-ahead run at home in the eighth.
