Mariners come back from 1-6 to win 10-6

A great game and 7th inning. Love section 227 next to the press box too. Garlic fries are just upstairs and there is a sit down restaurant nearby… and what a game. just goes to show, you can never give up!

It didn’t work out for the Twins on Monday, but for the Mariners, it was truly, uh, bingo bango.

Leading 6-1 entering the bottom of the seventh, the Twins self-destructed as Ibanez broke Ken Griffey Jr.’s record of five RBI in one inning (April 29, 1999, vs. Detroit).

The big blow was a grand slam by Ibanez, who came up with the bases loaded again in the inning. With visions of Fernando Tatis dancing in his head — or not — Ibanez “settled” for a two-run single.

Tatis is the only player in history with two grand slams in an inning. He did it with the Cardinals against the Dodgers on April 23, 1999.
