SEATTLE (AP) --- Cole Young hit a game-winning single in the 10th inning and
the Seattle Mariners beat the New York Mets 3-2 on Monday night for their
season-high seventh straight victory.
The Mets had their four-game win streak snapped. The walk-off victory was
Seattle's third in four games as the Mariners (32-29) improved to a season-best
three games over .500.
With one out in the bottom of the 10th, Young flared a single to left field off
reliever A.J. Minter (0-1) to score Randy Arozarena, who started the inning as
the automatic runner at second base and stole third as Patrick Wisdom struck
out.
Gabe Speier (1-2) struck out two in a perfect inning for the win, including
Juan Soto leading off.
The Mariners and Mets traded home runs all evening. Shortly after New York
opener Austin Warren exited, rookie third baseman Colt Emerson hit a solo shot
off an elevated sweeper from Mets lefty Sean Manaea to give Seattle the first
run of the game.
New York tallied each of the next two runs. Jared Young led off the fifth and
tied the game with a homer off Emerson Hancock for the Mets' first hit.
In the sixth, New York took the lead on Marcus Semien's sixth home run. Semien
has homered in back-to-back games after starting the season ice cold.
The Mets didn't lead for long, though. Josh Naylor smacked his sixth homer of
the year in the seventh to tie it 2-all, though he didn't stay in the game for
long. Naylor experienced back spasms on the home run swing and was replaced at
first base by Wisdom in the eighth.
Up next
Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (3-4, 3.69 ERA) starts Tuesday night. The
Mets had not announced a scheduled starter but are expected to use an opener
before turning to a bulk reliever as they did Monday night.
