The Mariners defeated the Minnesota Twins 5-3 in the ninth inning, thanks to Cole Young's broken-bat single that drove in two runs. Young, who also delivered a double, is currently ranking second with 10 RBIs in 47 at-bats over his last 13 games for the Mariners. The victory moves Seattle to the eighth consecutive game in a row, marking the first time they've won since April 3. The Twins lost the last two games of the series. Despite Taj Bradley's fourth quality start in seven turns for the Twins, their defense faltered again, with a 5.13 relief ERA, fifth-worst in the major leagues.
