Errors, Bullpen sink Mariners again in 5-2 loss

With the game knotted up in the seventh, a Khris Davis base hit screamed into right field. Santana bobbled the ball, allowing Matt Olson to score from second base. After that, it all went downhill for the Mariners

But for Santana, one error wasn’t enough. In an attempt to nab Olson at home, his throw badly missed catcher Tom Murphy, and Davis advanced to second as a result.

The disaster wouldn’t end there. Mark Canha’s subsequent groundout could have killed Oakland’s momentum with a double play. But with Davis at second, he advanced to third on a fielders choice instead, only to score the winning run on a sacrifice fly.
