Julio Rodríguez hit a run-scoring double and later scored the tiebreaking run after drawing an intentional walk, leading the playoff-contending Seattle Mariners to a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.
"It was a series that we needed to win," Mariners manager Scott Servais said."It didn't start off that great when we let the game Monday night get away from us, but credit to our guys. "He has been one of the best in the game," Angels manager Phil Nevin said."I'm not going to let him beat us."After Los Angeles brought in reliever Jimmy Herget, Raleigh lined an RBI single to right field that drove in France, who slid into home plate to beat the throw from Brett Phillips. Hernández then followed with an RBI single that deflected off second baseman Brandon Drury's glove, scoring Rodríguez for a 3-2 lead.
"He has been the rock," Servais said."He has put together just an unbelievable season after doing what he did last year to lead us into the playoffs.Los Angeles threatened against Justin Topa in the seventh, putting runners on first and second with no outs. But Topa escaped the jam, highlighted by a pickoff that caught Jordyn Adams in a rundown between second and third.
"What an awesome way to end the game for a catcher," Servais said."Cal has done the walk-off homer. Now he's done the walk-off caught stealing."
