Key moment and late rally
During the tenth inning, the game turned on a big play. With two runners on, Young crushed a triple to right, the ball flying 350 feet and Raley scored. That made it 1–0 and gave Seattle a sudden lift. Later in the same inning, Naylor singled to right and two more runs scored while the Angels defense scrambled. Seattle took a 3–0 lead. The crowd felt the momentum shift, and the Mariners rode that surge to finish the game.
How the tenth inning unfolded
With the game tied and tension high, Seattle came up in the top of the tenth. Young hit a sinker at 85 mph for a triple that cleared the right-field gap. After that, Naylor delivered a two-run single with two outs, pushing the score to 3–0. Seattle plated three runs in the biggest scoring inning, and their hitters showed patience and power. The Angels could not answer until Soler hit a sacrifice fly later.
Pitching and late-game swings
Bryan Woo started for Seattle and Reid Detmers started for the Angels. Both pitchers kept the game scoreless through nine innings, so the bullpens mattered a lot. In extras, Seattle's hitters broke through against relievers and made the biggest swing of the night. Muñoz was noted as a premier closer for Seattle last season, and the bullpen depth helped the Mariners hold the lead after the tenth. The Angels managed one run later on.
