The Mariners are tops in MLB in one-run wins (23), one-run games (33) and comeback wins (21). Pretty soon, fans will be singing "buy me some peanuts and a defibrillator."
Mike Zunino was around when the Mariners fell one game shy of making the playoffs in 2014. He was around for the second-half surge that briefly placed them second in the wild-card standings in August of 2016.
He has seen SportsCenter-top-play walkoffs. He has heard the bellows of sold-out crowds. He has felt the thrills of big-league ball that every kid swinging an Easton dreams about.
But he’s never experienced anything like this.
