SEATTLE (AP) — After four hours of dominant pitching, some bad baserunning and slick defense, Luis Torrens and the Seattle Mariners finally broke through.

Torrens singled with one out in the 13th inning to score Eugenio Suárez, and the Mariners beat the New York Yankees 1-0 on Tuesday night in a game dominated by the starting pitching of Gerrit Cole and Luis Castillo.

“That’s one of the best major league games I’ve ever watched. The pitching in this game was unbelievable on both sides,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said.

The two aces were overpowering into the late innings before turning it over to bullpens that managed to keep the game scoreless deep into the night.

It was the first major league game to reach the 13th inning scoreless since Tampa Bay against Detroit on Aug. 17, 2019 — before new rules were implemented in 2020 putting an automatic runner at second base to start each extra inning.

And it had a playoff feel, with fans standing for most of the final five innings.

“That was the coolest game I’ve ever been a part of,” said Seattle reliever Matt Brash. “Obviously, I’m new in the big leagues, but I mean, that atmosphere is what we want.”

Eventually, the Mariners came through in the 13th. Cal Raleigh singled off Jonathan Loáisiga (1-3) and advanced Suárez from second to third. One out later, Sam Haggerty was intentionally walked to load the bases and Torrens lined an 0-2 pitch into right field to set off a wild, exhausted celebration.

“It’s a big moment for me and for the team, too,” Torrens said.
