Mitch Haniger drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Seattle Mariners rallied from a five-run deficit to defeat the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 Saturday night.
Haniger hit a solo homer in the fifth inning to spark the comeback. It was the sixth victory in the past eight games for the Mariners, who regained sole possession of first place in the American League West.
Alec Bohm drove in three runs for the National League East-leading Phillies, who lost their sixth in a row and dropped to 3-11 since the All-Star break.
With Randy Arozarena the runner at second to start the bottom of the 10th, the Phillies intentionally walked Cal Raleigh. With two outs, Carlos Estevez (1-4) hit Dylan Moore with a pitch to load the bases, then missed high on a 3-2 count against Haniger to bring home the winning run.
Mariners right-hander Collin Snyder pitched a scoreless 10th to earn the victory.
The Phillies scored in the first as Kyle Schwarber led off with a single to center and Trea Turner doubled to left. After Bryce Harper fouled out, Schwarber scored as Bohm grounded out to third.
The score remained 1-0 until the fifth, when the Phillies plated four runs. With one out, Austin Hays grounded a single to left, Schwarber walked and Turner reached on an infield single to load the bases.
Left-hander Tayler Saucedo replaced starter Bryce Miller and got Harper to fly out to shallow left before Bohm grounded a two-run single to center and Brandon Marsh did the same to right.
Haniger went deep to left-center with one out in the bottom of the inning to get Seattle on the board.
The Mariners tied it in the sixth off All-Star reliever Jeff Hoffman. Arozarena led off with a double to left and, an out later, Justin Turner was hit by a pitch. Jorge Polanco grounded a run-scoring single to right. With two outs, Haniger drew a walk to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Luke Raley doubled into the right-field corner, pulling the Mariners within a run.
Josh Rojas hit a one-hopper down the first base line that a diving Harper was able to knock down. Haniger scored the tying run on the play but Raley was narrowly thrown out at the plate to end the inning.
Harper led off the fourth inning with a double to left-center, snapping a career-worst 0-for-24 slump.
Miller was charged with four runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings, with one walk and four strikeouts.
Phillies left-hander Kolby Allard allowed one run on two hits over four innings after Orion Kerkering pitched a scoreless first as the opener.
