Yankees Overcome 5-0 Deficit to Beat Mariners in Extra Innings

The New York Yankees staged a dramatic comeback against the Seattle Mariners, overcoming a 5-0 deficit and a near no-hitter by Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo to win 6-5 in extra innings. This thrilling victory, sealed by Anthony Volpe's safe slide at home due to a missed tag by Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, sparked a strong reaction from Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who had bet on the Mariners. Portnoy, known for his high-stakes sports betting and as a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan, expressed his frustration on social media, calling the missed tag "the worst f–king tag in the history of baseball" and lamenting that he would not sleep that night. The loss was particularly painful given the Mariners' dominant performance for much of the game, including Woo’s no-hit pitching through seven innings and a 5-0 lead. Portnoy's reaction highlighted the unpredictable nature of both baseball and betting, underscoring the emotional stakes involved. The Yankees' comeback is notable as the first time a team has rallied from seven scoreless innings and a 5+ run deficit to win since 1977.
