NEW YORK — Paul Sewald had been waiting for this moment since the New York Mets cut him after the 2020 season.
"They gave up on me, so it was pretty nice to get a little revenge today," the Seattle reliever said.
Sewald relieved Marco Gonzalez with runners at second and third and struck out Starling Marte to escape a seventh-inning jam and keep the score tied. Ty France followed with a go-ahead single in the eighth, Sewald got three straight outs in the bottom half and the Mariners beat New York 2-1 Friday night in their first game at Citi Field.
