Julio Rodríguez is the youngest player in MLB history, and the first @Mariners player of any age, to hit a leadoff HR & a game-tying/go-ahead HR in the 9th inning or later of the same game.
Goldy’s radio calls of the Julio Rodriguez game-tying HR (25) and Eugenio Suarez walk-off HR (30) in the bottom of the 9th against Atlanta. #Mariners win No. 79 for a tie in the AL Wild Card! #SundaySwings
The Mariners' playoff odds are up to 99.8% after today's win, per @fangraphs, with 22 games to play.
They hold a 5 1/2 game lead over Baltimore, the first team on the outside looking in, and the tiebreaker with those Orioles.
An emotional Paul Sewald on the Mariners' bats backing him:
"Every single guy said the same thing: 'You've saved us 25 times this year. Every once in a while, it's OK for us to save you.' So I'm very appreciative of the fact that they hit those two homers in the 9th."
