With their playoff chances slipping away, the Seattle Mariners found a painful new way to lose. The Mariners fell to the New York Yankees 2-1 in 10 innings on Wednesday night, but it was how the bottom of the 10th played out that will be remembered in Mariners lore as another chapter in a season that has gone awry.

Seattle Mariners ’ Julio Rodríguez is picked off at third base by New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. after Mariners’ Randy Arozarena lost his bat on a swing during the 10th inning of a baseball game Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024, in Seattle.

Seattle trailed 2-1 when Cal Raleigh’s leadoff single in the 10th advanced Rodríguez, the automatic runner, from second base to third. Ian Hamilton fanned Arozarena with a 2-2 slider, and his bat went sailing out of his hands.Walker’s 3-run double, homers from Winn and Donovan lead Cardinals to 10-5 win over Pirates

“Honestly, at that moment I wasn’t really thinking about the game, just trying to get away from the bat coming at me. That’s what happened. That was a first for me, for sure.”Rodríguez’s mistake came a night after Victor Robles made the very questionable decision to try stealing home in the first inning against New York while Turner was at the plate with a 3-0 count. Robles was out and the Yankees rolled to an easy victory.
