Rookie Harry Ford’s Walk-Off Sac Fly Lifts Mariners to 12-Inning Win, AL West Tie

Houston’s loss in Toronto left Seattle level at 79-68.

Overview

  • Jorge Polanco opened the 12th with a game-tying double that scored automatic runner Josh Naylor, then beat the throw home on Ford’s sacrifice fly.
  • The victory was Seattle’s sixth straight and extended its surge at T-Mobile Park to 17 wins in the past 20 games since the Trade Deadline.
  • Starter Bryce Miller struck out a season-high 11 but allowed four unanswered runs as his velocity and command dipped late.
  • Mike Trout tied the game in the fifth with his 399th career homer, then Andrés Muñoz struck him out in the 10th to strand the go-ahead run on third.
  • Ford delivered the walk-off on the first pitch of a pinch-hit appearance in the 12th with the bases loaded.
