Mariners walk-off with win vs. A’s, who celebrate clinching playoff spot
The Mariners celebrated on the field. The A’s celebrated in the clubhouse.
Down a run going into the bottom of the ninth inning and facing A’s closer Liam Hendriks, the Mariners pulled off a stunning come-from-behind 4-3 victory ending with J.P. Crawford’s walk-off double to left field that scored Shed Long from first.
The Mariners players spilled from the dugout and tried to mob Crawford, who was running away from them.
The Mariners got a one-out single from Mallex Smith, who then moved up two bases thanks to wild pitches. With two outs, Long fought off multiple strikeout type pitches to punch a single up the middle to tie the game and set up Crawford’s heroics.
