SEATTLE (AP) — Mitch Haniger singled home the winning run in the 11th inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 3-2 in a matchup of American League playoff contenders.

Haniger hit a leadoff single in the bottom of the 11th against All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase to score automatic runner Dylan Moore from second base.
