History

Historical Context

The Mariners’ 6-2 rally over the Angels echoes their 1995 miracle season, when Lou Piniella’s club erased a 13-game August hole, won a 9-1 division tiebreaker and clinched the ALDS with Edgar Martínez’s 11th-inning double on Oct 8, 1995. That comeback spurred state funding for Safeco Field, now T-Mobile Park.
