Seattle Mariners secure 7-6 walk‑off victory over Minnesota Twins
The Seattle Mariners rallied from a 6‑0 deficit to defeat the Minnesota Twins 7‑6 on Sunday. Colt Emerson delivered a walk‑off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, scoring pinch‑runner Stuart Fairchild from third base.
The Twins had erased the Mariners' lead by scoring five runs in the eighth inning and tying the game with Luke Keaschall’s leadoff homer in the ninth. Seattle starter George Kirby threw seven shutout innings, allowing five hits and striking out three. Other notable contributions included Cal Raleigh’s home run, Cole Young’s four‑hit game, and a hard‑slide by Josh Naylor that left him bloodied but able to continue.
The win gave Seattle the series finale after losing the opener, while the Twins will open a new series against Kansas City the following day.
