Seattle Mariners star outfielder Julio Rodríguez has had a disappointing season by his own lofty standards. His year got a little worse on Wednesday night, when he made an unusual and costly out during the 10th inning of a 2-1 defeat against the New York Yankees.

A flying bat helped the Yankees clinch a playoff spot on Wednesday night at T-Mobile Park. Anthony Rizzo, who had two hits and two RBIs, drove in Jasson Dominguez with a double to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead, which they did not relinquish.

The Seattle Mariners are in the thick of a hyper-competitive AL Wild Card race, but they've had two baserunning blunders to forget against the Yankees. The first was Victor Robles trying to steal home on a 3-0 count earlier this week.
