ARLINGTON, Texas — The best way to make people forget about a costly throwing error that was a main reason your team was headed for another costly defeat is to smash the go-ahead homer in the bottom ninth to rally your team for a victory.
With the Mariners trailing by a run and seemingly headed toward another road loss, Eugenio Suarez, who helped put his team in that situation with a costly throwing error in the sixth inning, redeemed his mistake, smashing a two-run homer to right field in the top of the ninth inning to turn a one-run deficit into an eventual 4-3 victory over the Rangers.
Suarez’s heroics wouldn’t be finalized until the Mariners’ overworked bullpen, specifically Paul Sewald, closed out the game with a scoreless ninth inning.
