The Seattle Mariners defeated the Minnesota Twins 7-6 on Sunday with a walk-off single in the ninth inning. Colt Emerson lined a run-scoring hit through a drawn-in infield with one out, per ESPN and Deadspin, scoring pinch-runner Stuart Fairchild from third base.
The victory marked the Mariners' second consecutive walk-off win over the Twins, according to ESPN. Yahoo Sports reported that the game capped a series in which the Mariners' younger players made an impact, noting the club's recent trade of Luis Castillo to Chicago marks a transition for the roster.
One outlet also reported that Mariners player Rodríguez gave a signed bat to a young fan, though the available reporting does not specify additional context around the gesture.
