Mariners deliver in 11th to outlast Astros
With Dominic Canzone the runner at second to start the inning, Miles Mastrobuoni put down a sacrifice bunt to move Canzone to third. Young lined a single down the right field line off Houston's Hector Neris (3-2) to win it.
Seattle's Eduard Bazardo (4-0) pitched a scoreless 11th to get the victory.
The Mariners won their fifth consecutive game and sent the Astros to their seventh loss in the past eight games.
Both teams scored in the 10th. Houston pinch hitter Taylor Trammell's sacrifice fly brought home the go-ahead run in the top of the inning. The Mariners tied it in the bottom half as Cal Raleigh scored from third on a fluke groundout off the knob of Dylan Moore's bat.
The Astros rallied from a 4-1 deficit. They began their comeback in the fifth as Jose Altuve led off with a double down the left field line and Victor Caratini drew a walk, ending the night for Mariners starter Logan Evans. Reliever Carlos Vargas got Cam Smith to ground into a double play, but Christian Walker grounded a single to right to score Altuve.
Houston took the lead with a three-run sixth. With one out, Vargas hit both Brice Matthews and Zack Short with pitches, angering the Astros' bench and drawing a warning from the umpiring crew. Altuve singled on a hard grounder that deflected off third baseman Ben Williamson and into shallow left field, with Matthews scoring on the play. Gabe Speier replaced Vargas and Caratini greeted him with a grounder up the middle, scoring Short. After Smith flew out to center, Walker grounded a single to right to make it 5-4.
Seattle tied it in the eighth off Bryan Abreu. Randy Arozarena led off with a hustle double to left and advanced to third on a flyout to right by Jorge Polanco. With two outs, Arozarena raced home on a wild pitch to make it 5-5.
The Mariners opened the scoring in the second inning as Polanco and Luke Raley drew one-out walks, Canzone was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Williamson hit a chopper back to the mound, with Lance McCullers Jr.'s only play to first.
Isaac Paredes led off the third with a single, but he had to leave the game with a hamstring injury. With one out, Caratini and Smith singled, with pinch runner Short scoring on the latter hit.
The Mariners scored three times in the bottom of the inning to regain the lead. Julio Rodriguez led off with a single before being forced out at second on a grounder by Arozarena. With two outs, Polanco lined a singled to center, sending Arozarena to third, and Luke Raley grounded a run-scoring single to right. Canzone hit a two-run double into the gap in left-center to make it 4-1.

Mariners up next for RHP Brandon Woodruff, streaking Brewers
July 21 - Maybe it's just a coincidence, but the Milwaukee Brewers haven't lost since right-hander Brandon Woodruff returned to their rotation. The Brewers won their 10th game in a row Sunday, defeating the host Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 to pull into a tie with the Chicago Cubs atop the National League's Central Division. Woodruff (1-0, 2.61 ERA) will try to help the Brewers extend that streak when he takes the mound Monday night at Seattle in the opener of a three-game interleague series. "It's just awesome to have him back," Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich said of Woodruff. "One of the best competitors I've ever played behind. Over the last eight years, if I could pick anybody to start a big game for us, I'd pick Big Woo, hands down." A two-time All-Star (2019, 2021), Woodruff underwent surgery on his right shoulder late in the 2023 season and missed all of 2024. His return this year was delayed by a pair of injuries suffered while on minor league rehabilitation stints. The first was right ankle tendinitis and the second came after he took a 108-mph comebacker to his right elbow. Woodruff made his season debut on July 6 and beat Miami 3-1, allowing one run on two hits over six innings, to spark Milwaukee's current streak. He struck out 10 in 4 1/3 innings in his first home start July 12 against Washington in a game that the Brewers rallied late to win 6-5. "I tricked them a little bit, I guess," Woodruff said. "The velocity will come, and believe me, I pay attention to it here because the radar gun is right in front of your face. You can't not see it. Honestly, doing what I did in the minor leagues and having to pitch with lower velocities has really helped me here. "Circumstances have led me to this point. I don't know when it's going to click, but I say this every year: When it does, it does. Physically, I feel good." The Mariners had a five-game winning streak snapped Sunday with an 11-3 loss to visiting Houston. Had the Mariners swept the series, they would have pulled within two games of the division-leading Astros in the American League West. Mariners manager Dan Wilson refused to call it a missed opportunity. "I wouldn't say that," Wilson said. "This was a day where we got an early lead, but they came back. Offensively, they played to what they normally do and got a couple of home runs to help that out. But outside of that, this is an offense that likes to do that and that's what they did today. "But overall, like I said, we took the series and got another series starting (Monday)," he added. Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford, whose error helped spark Houston's comeback from a 3-0 deficit, disagreed with his manager. "These games matter," Crawford said. "But you got to keep going. Got a good team coming in. Got to get ready for them." The Mariners are set to start right-hander George Kirby (4-4, 4.50) in the series opener. Kirby, who missed the start of the season with right shoulder inflammation, has won his past three starts. Both Woodruff and Kirby will be facing their opponent for the first time in their careers. --Field Level Media

Major breakthrough in burglary of Joe Burrow's $7.5 million mansion after shocking sports star robbery epidemic
New York authorities have made a major breakthrough in the burglary of NFL star Joe Burrow's home as a pawn shop owner pleaded guilty to buying and selling stolen items from athletes' properties. The burglary of the Cincinnati Bengals ' $7.5 million mansion, which was covered on Netflix's 'Quarterback' docuseries, occurred on December 9 while Burrow was on the road for a game against the Dallas Cowboys. The pattern of athletes' homes burglarized while they were publicly scheduled elsewhere includes Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, and NBA stars Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers and Mike Conley Jr. of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The pawn shop owner, Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, 43, of North Bergen, N.J., pleaded guilty on Friday to one count of conspiracy to receive stolen property in a Brooklyn federal court. He admitted knowingly purchasing stolen property, including high-end watches, jewelry and handbags. Nezhinskiy, whose sentencing date has not been determined, faces a maximum of five years in prison and restitution and forfeiture of more than $2.5 million. In addition, because he is from the country of Georgia while legally residing in the United States, Nezhinskiy faces federal charges and the possibility of deportation, District Judge William F. Kuntz said. 'This defendant ran a black-market pipeline, buying stolen luxury goods from organized theft crews that targeted homes and businesses,' New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a news release on Friday. 'It was a deliberate operation that helped professional burglars prey on innocent people.' Co-defendant Juan Villar, 48, who co-managed the pawn shop, pleaded guilty in June to the same charge, per Friday's news release. The two men worked together between 2020 and this year, according to the release, as 'fences' to receive and buy stolen goods from outside of New York. Villar, of Queens, N.Y., also is awaiting sentencing. The news release said that South American Theft Group traveled the United States and targeted homes in affluent neighborhoods as well as jewelry vendors. The investigation involving multiple states has resulted in six arrests. Nezhinskiy and Villar haven't been charged with specific burglaries. Police searched the pawn shop as well as storage units owned by Nezhinskiy in New Jersey and found suspected stolen property including sports memorabilia, artwork and fine wine as well as luxury goods and clothing and 'power tools consistent with those commonly used in burglaries and opening safes,' according to the news release. Four Chilean nationals were stopped and arrested by police on suspicion of robbery. Police found the group in possession of LSU and Bengals gear, which is believed to have been taken from Burrow's home. Officers said the men were in the country illegally after overstaying their permission. Three of the men are facing federal charges for allegedly transporting stolen goods and falsifying record in a federal investigation. Those three are suspected by investigators of orchestrating similar robberies at the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. In a shocking photo laid bare in court documents, all four men linked to the Burrow burglary could be seen posing in the jewelry they allegedly stole at his home - including the NFL star's personalized diamond-encrusted chains. Olivia Ponton (right) was the one who called the police over the break-in at Burrow's home They are understood to have made off with over $300,000 worth of his luxury possessions, according to federal prosecutors. Burrow addressed the robbery at the time, although he was clearly skittish about saying too much publicly. 'So obviously everybody has heard what has happened,' Burrow said in a statement after the robbery. 'I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one. And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share, so that's all I got to say about that.' The incident was initially shrouded in mystery after it emerged that the 911 call was made by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton rather than the quarterback's longtime partner Olivia Holzmacher. Although Holzmacher is no longer believed to be involved with Burrow, Ponton has stayed silent on her relationship with the quarterback, refusing to address the topic when asked by paparazzo at last month's Met Gala . However, the two were recently spotted out late in New York. Ponton - who boasts eight million followers on TikTok - is said to have told officers that she noticed 'a shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked' when she arrived at Burrow's property on December 9 . Burrow was out of town at the time.
