Robles’ infield single in the 10th inning lifts the Mariners to a 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks

SEATTLE (AP) — Victor Robles’ infield single scored Randy Arozarena in the 10th inning as the Seattle Mariners completed a three-game series sweep with a 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Seattle has won a season-high six straight games and has three series sweeps this season. Arizona dropped its third straight after winning 10 of its previous 11 games and was swept in a series for the third time in 2026.

With Arozarena on second as the automatic runner in the 10th, Luke Raley was intentionally walked and Cole Young dropped a textbook sacrifice bunt off Diamondbacks reliever Jonathan Loáisiga (2-2) to advance the runners. Robles hit a grounder up the middle against a drawn in infield and D-backs shortstop Geraldo Perdomoto dove to make the stop, but bobbled the ball, allowing Robles to reach safely and the winning run to score.

The surging Mariners twice took a one-run lead, first on a home run by Young in the second inning and again in the sixth inning on a solo shot by Dominic Canzone. Young’s home run was his fourth of the season, tying his total from his 2025 rookie year in 2025. Canzone’s was his seventh of the season. Seattle hit 10 home runs in the three-game series and outscored Arizona 15-9.

Arizona responded each time Seattle went ahead, but never took the lead against Luis Castillo (2-5), who threw five innings of two-run ball in relief of Bryce Miller. The Seattle starter threw five scoreless innings, and combined with Castillo to limit the Diamondbacks to three hits. The Mariners, meanwhile, racked up 11 hits.

Up next

Mariners RHP Emerson Hancock (4-2, 2.78 ERA) will start on Monday night against the New York Mets, who have not named a starter.

Diamondbacks LHP Eduardo Rodríguez (5-1, 2.31) opens a home series Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and RHP Emmet Sheehan (3-1, 4.70).

NYPD says dozens rescued from human trafficking during World Cup

▶ Watch Video: Inside look at security preparations for World Cup Forty-three people, including seven minors, were rescued from human traffickers during the World Cup matches in the New York City area, according to the New York City Police Department's Special Victims Unit.The rescue operations were carried out between June 11 and July 19 by specialized NYPD detectives who arrested 89 individuals."The surprise was really the outpouring of support behind the mission and the collaboration with all our partners," said Inspector Gary Marcus, commanding officer of the Special Victims Unit.Those rescued, largely the victims of sex trafficking, are now being supported with an array of social services for the victims, including food, housing and counseling.The 87 operations carried out during the World Cup have generated new leads, officials said, and law enforcement agencies are building more cases based on the investigations already underway."We have ongoing investigations now as a result of these operations," an NYPD official told CBS News.Major sporting events are known to law enforcement as hotbeds of human trafficking.Years in advance, the NYPD devoted significant resources to preparing for the World Cup. Eight matches were played at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, including the final on Sunday."When we talk about the outreach and the prep we do, a large part of that involved visiting the known sex offenders, particularly the known human traffickers, in our registry," Marcus said. "Whether they're on parole or probation for human trafficking, we visited them to make sure they're compliant with the terms of their release, and secondly, to let them know that the NYPD is watching."The matches were held in multiple cities around the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Preparations to secure those games and prepare for crimes like human trafficking were coordinated between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.Police departments in many locations that hosted World Cup matches have made arrests and rescues connected to human trafficking, including in Georgia, New England and Missouri. Nationally, there were more than 673 arrests on human-trafficking charges made during the World Cup, and 61 adults and 13 minors rescued, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
