What is the story about?
Good
morning! The Mariners secured their seventh win in a row and second-straight walk-off last night, this time with Cole Young as the hero as his single sent Randy Arozarena home from third. Emerson Hancock held the New York Mets to just two hits off two home runs, and a lights out bullpen night helped the Mariners get the win.
Logan Gilbert takes the mound tonight at 6:40 PM for game two against the Mets.
