SEATTLE — George Kirby wanted to atone after getting rocked the last time he stepped on the mound for Seattle. Facing the team he grew up loving only amplified his emotions.
Cal Raleigh made sure Kirby's terrific performance didn't go to waste.
Raleigh's single leading off the bottom of the 10th inning scored pinch-runner Jose Caballero to give the Mariners a 1-0 win over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.
Seattle avoided a three-game sweep and snapped New York's four-game win streak thanks largely to a stellar performance from Kirby and Raleigh's clutch hit.
