What Happened

The ninth inning of the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle Mariners is a tense and dramatic affair. The game is tied at two runs apiece as the Mariners come up to bat in the final frame. Catcher Cal Raleigh of the Mariners leads off the inning, and Angels pitcher Aaron Loup gets him to ground out to third for the first out. Next up is outfielder Sam Haggerty, who takes a strike before fouling a pitch off his own leg. The count goes to 2-2, and Haggerty laces a hot shot down the third base line, reaching base as the go-ahead run. Designated hitter Eugenio Suárez comes to the plate, and the ball gets away from the catcher, allowing Haggerty to advance to second base. Suárez then steals third, putting the Mariners in prime position to take the lead. Outfielder Jesse Winker steps in, and the infield comes in, hoping to cut down the runner at home. However, Loup loses control and walks Suárez, putting runners on the corners with one out. The Mariners send in pinch-runner Dylan Moore for Suárez, adding more speed to the basepaths. Rookie sensation Julio Rodríguez steps up, and the Angels keep the infield in, determined to prevent the go-ahead run from scoring. Rodríguez hits a sharp grounder right at Loup, who can't cleanly field it. In the ensuing rundown, the Angels fail to execute, and Moore scores the go-ahead run, putting the Mariners up 3-2. The Angels' struggles continue, as they are unable to record an out on the next two grounders to the infield, allowing the Mariners to tack on three more runs. Shortstop J.P. Crawford caps the inning with a flare over the shortstop's head, making it 6-2 Mariners. "It's actually kind of interesting," analyzes. "It's a bad predicament" for the Angels, as their defensive lapses and inability to make the necessary plays ultimately cost them in this thrilling ninth-inning comeback by the Mariners.
