Mariners Roundup: Postseason bid seems all but over after disappointing Angels series

Best Moment: Mariners turn whacky double play to keep the game tied

In the bottom of the eighth inning of the second game in the series, the Angels and Mariners were tied at 4-4. After a double by Taylor Ward and a wild pitch by Collin Snider to move him over to third base, Jack López laid down a suicide squeeze. Unfortunately for López, the bunt placed the ball right on home plate, allowing Cal Raleigh to quickly trap the ball and tag Ward before he was able to score. In the confusion, López also didn't start running to first until Ward had already been tagged out, giving Raleigh more than enough time to make the second out at first base. A subsequent lineout by Nolan Schanuel would end the inning.

Although the Angels still slipped away with the win following a walk-off home run, this defensive play gave Seattle a life preserver and a reasonable chance to win or at least send it to extra innings. If nothing else, it was yet another goofy, chaotic moment in a messy season of Mariners baseball.
