In what looked like a blown chance against a National League cellar dweller, Josh Naylor delivered a bases clearing double to clinch a Mariner play-off berth. Naylor, could be the most popular mid season acquisition in team history.
With just a win needed, the team appeared to struggle, falling behind the Colorado Rockies 3-1. The Rockies have lost 113 games so far, and were hungry to be spoilers.
The bases were loaded when reliever Juan Mejia hit two batters with pitches and walked another. Naylor delivered one of only three hits of the evening for the Mariners, but it cleared the bases and gave the team it's only lead, which it wouldn't lose.
