Athletics Rally in 9th Inning

The Athletics started the ninth inning with a single by Cristian Pache. After a groundout, Ramon Laureano singled to put runners on first and second.

Paul Sewald came out of the bullpen and walked Tony Kemp to load the bases.

Shea Langeliers then came to the plate and hit a 1-2 sinker over the left field wall for a walk-off home run.

Mariners Disappointed

"It's a tough one to lose," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "We had a chance to put them away in the eighth and we didn't do it. And then we let them back in the game in the ninth. We need to be better than that. We need to find a way to close these games out."

The Mariners will look to bounce back on Monday when they open a three-game series against the Texas Rangers.
