J.P. Crawford walk-off homer lifts Mariners past the Rangers
Dominic Canzone drew a leadoff walk and Crawford lined a 2-0 fastball from Robert Garcia (1-6) over the right-field wall to give the Mariners the walk-off victory.
Eduard Bazardo (5-0) pitched a scoreless inning of relief for the victory.
The Mariners opened the scoring in the second inning. With one out, Eugenio Suarez reached on an infield chopper and Jorge Polanco lined a single to right, putting runners at the corners. A walk to Canzone loaded the bases before Rangers starter Jack Leiter fanned Crawford. Rookie Cole Young walked to bring home Suarez, but Leiter struck out Randy Arozarena to get out of the jam with no further damage.
The Rangers did all their damage against Mariners starter Logan Gilbert in the top of the third. Joc Pederson, who entered the game 0 for 24 against the Mariners this season, led off and was grazed on the hand by a pitch. Former Mariner Rowdy Tellez grounded a double down the first-base line, with Pederson scoring from first when Canzone bobbled the ball in right field. Tellez took third on Jonah Heim's groundout and scored on Josh Smith's grounder into left field. With two outs, Marcus Semien doubled into the left-center gap to make it 3-1.
The Mariners pulled within a run in the fifth after Young drew a leadoff walk and Cal Raleigh did the same an out later. After Julio Rodriguez grounded into a forceout, Josh Naylor doubled down the left-field line to score Young. Suarez flied out to the warning track in center to end the inning, stranding the tying run at third.
Leiter allowed two runs on three hits in 4 1/3 innings, with three walks and seven strikeouts.
Gilbert went six innings and gave up three runs on five hits. He didn't walk a batter and fanned seven.

Philippe Clement lifts lid on Rangers boardroom 'total chaos' and reveals what really angered him about sacking
The Belgian was bulleted from his position following a disastrous Scottish Cup exit but at a time of turmoil for the club Sacked Ibrox gaffer Philippe Clement claims his bid to rebuild Rangers was wrecked by 'total chaos' in the boardroom. The Belgian boss was hired to replace Michael Beale in October 2023 - but he lasted just 16 months before being axed himself. A catastrophic Scottish Cup exit at the hands of Queen's Park in February left the former Club Brugge and Monaco gaffer clinging to his job. But the final straw came a fortnight later as Clement's side slipped up again at home to St Mirren, putting the nail in coffin of their already faint title hopes. However, the 51-year-old believes his chances of surviving in the Ibrox hot seat were undone by turmoil around the directors' table. Gers' preparations last summer were wrecked by a construction cock-up which forced the team to play the first month of the campaign at Hampden, while the club was left rudderless when both chairman John Bennett and chief exec James Bisgrove quit within weeks of each other. "That's the frustration, the frustrating part of the story," Clement told BBC Scotland's Sacked in the Morning podcast. "The first seven months, everybody was really happy about what happened in the club. There was a big change. But after that, a lot of things changed in the club and it became quite chaotic. "I never had a club or saw a club where you don't have all these positions filled during a season for six or seven months. So a lot of things happened." Clement - who has since been replaced by Russell Martin - expected to be given funds to challenge Celtic having pushed the Parkhead side close the previous season before a late collapse. But he was shocked to learn the budget had been slashed having been given orders from the board to sell his top earners before he could buy in fresh recruits. "They said we know we don't have the money that Celtic has for the moment," Clement added. "It was quite an old squad. So we know we're going to need four, five, maybe six transfer windows to gain money and to close this gap with Celtic. "And it starts with getting young players in, develop them, make them better and sell them to build the club again where it should be. "The board was afraid to say these things towards the fans because they were already very angry about the stadium issue. I was the only one speaking in the club because there was nobody any more." Clement lifted a League Cup just two months after arriving in Glasgow but was left playing catch-up on Celtic for the remainder of his time at Rangers. "There was a big difference about everything around the team, even maybe a bigger difference than on the pitch," he said, when asked about the gap between the Old Firm clubs. "In preparation, in everything around the club, Celtic is much more organised than Rangers. And I was there for sure in these seven months where there was total chaos at Rangers." Clement was binned with his team 13 points adrift of the Hoops. But he was left unhappy after learning through the media rather than the club that his time was up. "It felt really empty," Clement said. "I was also angry that moment because all the journalists knew before me. "I got a lot of messages from Scotland, England and Belgium even, before I get a message from the club, so I was not happy with that. That's not good. "I told them also that it was totally disrespectful, that moment. But I felt really empty because you build something together in your full day and night with everything in the club. "And I had to do much more than you normally should do as a manager in the months before when these positions were not filled in."

'Leaked' Rangers team for Viktoria Plzen sees ruthless Russell Martin wield the axe on four big hitters
Will Martin's post match blast at Fir Park be an empty threat or will he take action? Russell Martin said what many Rangers fans have felt for years about the some of the current squad members when the blazing boss went nuclear with his fizzing Fir Park post match interview. But supporters will find out if he will follow it up by actually taking drastic action when they face Viktoria Plzen in their huge Champions League third round qualifying first leg. And if the leaked team sweeping social media in the hours building up to the match are anything to go by then it seems Martin might be about to get ruthless. For a start, in the XI being bandied about there is NO place for captain James Tavernier with the skipper, despite opening the scoring against Motherwell, coming in for criticism for his part in the Steelmen's late leveller. Martin referred to players 'just jogging around' and both Tavernier and the much-maligned Kieran Dowell didn't cover themselves in glory in the build up to the late sucker punch, neither strong enough in the tackle to stop Emmanuel Longelo as he made his way into the box before the ball ended up back him to fire past Jack Butland. Tavernier has split the Ibrox support for long enough with many fans believing a succession of managers' loyalty to the long-serving skipper has cost them. And with Max Aarons a natural right back being played on the left - and looking uncomfortable - to accommodate Tavernier then it could be Martin will choose to bench Tavernier and bring Jefte into the left back slot. Martin surprised many by turning to Dowell this season when it looked like the ex-Norwich City man's Ibrox career was over when he was shipped out on loan to Birmingham City. And he hasn't made the most of his second chance in this three outings this season but with the signing of Oliver Antman and his inclusion in the Champions League squad then it wouldn't be a major surprise to see that swap, as the rumoured line-up suggests. Martin picked out Cyriel Dessers and Lyall Cameron for praise in terms of attitude amid a blast about egos in the squad and those two could also come in. And that would also see the axe fall on Nico Raskin, with Joe Rothwell's arrival squeezing him out of the position he did so well in last season, and Danilo.

Buffalo Bills sign Super Bowl-winning defensive end
The Buffalo Bills have signed veteran star Justin Hollins to a one-year deal. The 29-year-old spent part of the 2024 season on the Washington Commanders practice squad but failed to make an appearance and was released back in August.
