SEATTLE — The finale they wanted for most of the sun-drenched Sunday afternoon came to fruition about 90 minutes later than they expected as a layer of dark clouds rolled over T-Mobile Park, removing the brightness and more than a few fans fatigued from the day.
But in the bottom of the 12th inning, Jesse Winker ended the marathon he helped prolong in the 10th inning.
The left-handed hitting outfielder, who watched has line drives were snagged and deep blasts caught at the wall, dumped a broken-bat single into right field, scoring Adam Frazier from second base and giving the Mariners a 5-4 win over the Royals.
