Guardians Edge Mariners in 10-Inning Thriller
SEATTLE (Interstat) — Chase DeLauter’s two-run homer in the 10th inning provided the decisive runs as the Cleveland Guardians outlasted the Seattle Mariners 6-5 on Saturday at T-Mobile Park.
The Guardians, who scored three times in the 10th, nearly squandered the lead in the bottom half. After DeLauter’s blast off Andrés Muñoz (0-1), Seattle’s Luke Raley hit a two-run homer off Connor Brogdon, but Brogdon stranded the tying run to secure his first save.
Cleveland’s Cade Smith (1-0) earned the win. Seattle starter Bryan Woo struck out nine over six innings, allowing two runs. The Guardians improved to 2-1, while the Mariners fell to 1-2 before a crowd of 43,283.
