The Seattle Mariners 2-1 extra-inning loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday was a heartbreaker. The Mariners managed to stifle the potent Yankees offense a day after allowing 11 runs. They were in prime position to tie or take the lead with runners on the corners and no outs in the bottom of the 10th.

After avoiding being hit by a loose bat, Julio Rodriguez, the potential tying run for the Mariners, found himself picked off third base during a stunning to 2-1 loss to the Yankees.

The Seattle Mariners were badly in need of a win Wednesday. Unfortunately, a wild scene involving Julio Rodriguez and a flying bat proved costly.
