Athletics erase 6-2 deficit, walk off Mariners 8-7

Seattle got the big offensive day it needed from Randy Arozarena, but the Athletics still rallied past the Mariners 8-7 at Sutter Health Park. Unlike the pregame outlook centered on Bryce Miller, the game was decided after he exited, as Seattle’s relievers allowed 6 runs and the Athletics scored twice in the ninth.

The Mariners looked in command after scoring 2 in the third, 3 in the fourth and 1 in the fifth against Jacob Lopez and the Athletics bullpen. Arozarena went 3-for-5 with 2 home runs and 4 RBI, Jhonny Pereda added 2 hits and 2 RBI, and J.P. Crawford drove in a run. Seattle led 6-2 after 5.

Miller worked 5.0 innings and gave up 2 runs on 2 hits, though his 5 walks helped keep the Athletics within reach. Lopez lasted 3.2 innings and was charged with 5 runs.

The game turned in the late innings. The Athletics scored 4 in the seventh to erase the deficit, then answered Seattle’s eighth-inning run with 2 in the ninth against Andrés Muñoz. Lawrence Butler powered the comeback with 2 homers and 4 RBI, while Zack Gelof scored 3 runs and drove in 2.

Mariners at Athletics — Miller's Last Five Have Undone His Season Line

Bryce Miller owns the better season numbers by a clear margin: a 4.22 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP and 2.6 walks per nine to Jacob Lopez's 4.78 and 4.3. His last five starts read differently — an 8.10 ERA with 5.4 walks per nine and 4.2 innings a start. Lopez has trended up over the same span at 3.10. The Athletics are 60-89 but have taken seven of 10, and they hit better than Seattle across the board, .720 OPS to .691. What works against them is relief: a 5.44 bullpen ERA and 1.51 WHIP, both the worst in this group, after 12 innings across nine arms in three days. Seattle is five games back in the AL West.
