Guardians use 5-run 8th inning to rally for 6-5 win over Mariners
CLEVELAND (AP) --- Rhys Hoskins had a two-run double down the left-field line
during a five-run eighth inning and the Cleveland Guardians rallied for a 6-5
victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
The Guardians trailed 4-1 before their comeback. It is their third victory in
36 games in which they have trailed after seven innings.
Chase DeLauter, who was activated from the injured list before the game, had
two hits and two RBIs.
Victor Robles had two hits and three stolen bases for Seattle, which scored
more than three runs for the first time in 14 games. The right fielder is the
first Seattle player since Dylan Moore in 2024 to have three stolen bases in a
game.
Cleveland sent 10 batters to the plate in the eighth. Brayan Rocchio led off
the inning with a hit and scored on Daniel Schneemann's single up the middle
off Michael Rucker (0-1).
DeLauter --- who missed two weeks because of a fractured rib on his right side
--- tied the game with a two-run single to center.
Hoskins, who came into the game in the seventh inning, then laced a double that
hit the chalk on the left-field line for the go-ahead hit. DeLauter appeared to
be out at home, but Seattle catcher Mitch Garver was unable to hold on to the
ball while trying to make the tag.
Seattle got within one run with two outs in the ninth when Cole Young scored
after Cleveland's Travis Bazzana committed a throwing error. The Mariners had
runners on second and third with two outs, but J.P. Crawford grounded out as
Cade Smith held on for his 26th save.
Matt Festa (2-1) got the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
It is the first series the Guardians have won since seven-time All-Star third
baseman Jos Ramrez went on the IL June 14 because of a broken bone in his
left hand.
Up next
Mariners: Return home to face the Los Angeles Angels on Monday with RHP George
Kirby (6-7, 3.94 ERA) taking the mound.
Guardians: Rookie left-hander Parker Messick (7-4, 2.67 ERA) gets the start
Monday in the opener of a three-game series against Texas.
