The Mariners unbelievable 8th inning began when Eugenio Suarez entered the pitch on a 3-2 scoreboard.

“It started with the walk. Two-out walk, couple of infield hits and it started just like a feeding frenzy,” Houston manager Dusty Baker said. “That was tough to take.”

From then onwards the Mariners marched on to a memorable victory and Crawford was at the center of the action once again.

“There’s certain players that just understand the moment and what the game calls for in that moment,” Seattle manager Scott Servais commented. “And J.P. is one of those guys.”
