Mariners bullpen finally caves in ninth, handing Rangers walk-off win

ARLINGTON, Texas — After three perfect innings from the bullpen, the Mariners handed the ball to their closer of the moment, Matt Magill, to protect a one-run lead.

But a leadoff double from Elvis Andrus, that was nearly a game-tying homer, set off a chain of events that gave the Rangers the 3-2 win. Andrus was thrown out at home, but it was overturned by a replay that tied the game. An error by Dee Gordon put the winning run at third, and an intentional walk loaded the bases led to Isiah Kiner-Kalefa lacing a walk-off single to right-center.
