The Mariners scored in the first inning of today’s game, and then did not score again until the ninth inning, when the Diamondbacks—one of the best defensive teams in the NL—committed their second error of the game after a wild pitch by Yoshihisa Hirano advanced runners to second and third, and then David Peralta took his eye off the ball and dropped what should have been out number two off the bat of Dee Gordon. That brought Nelson Cruz to the plate facing Brad Boxberger, who worked the count full before taking a walk to load the bases with no outs for Mitch Haniger.
