What happened in the ninth inning Saturday night at T-Mobile Park was an anomaly, Seattle Mariners veteran Jay Bruce says.
With two outs in the ninth inning, and the Mariners holding onto a four-run lead, rookie third baseman Dylan Moore recorded three consecutive errors.
The Boston Red Sox capitalized with three runs, and it was only after right-hander Nick Rumbelow struck out Xander Bogaerts for the final out, not allowing the ball to be put into play, that the Mariners could breathe, escaping with a 6-5 win.
“That stuff almost never happens,” Bruce said.
