Cleveland overcomes 12-run deficit to beat Mariners. In the 11th Indians reliever John Rocker struck out the side, holding the Mariners scoreless for the sixth straight inning. Jose Paniagua entered the game in the bottom of the inning, Seattle’s sixth relief pitcher. After he got the first out, consecutive singles by Lofton, Vizquel, and Cabrera ended the drama at 12:11 A.M. Cabrera’s hit, a broken-bat single to left field, scored Lofton from second base for the winning run. (Submitted on October 15, 2021, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
