Carrigg's 2-run single in 7th lifts Rockies to 5-3 win, moving Mariners to verge of elimination

Cole Carrigg hit a go-ahead two-run single during a four-run seventh inning to lift the Colorado Rockies to a 5-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night. The loss leaves Seattle (72-83) seven games behind the Chicago White Sox for the final AL wild card spot with only seven games remaining, pushing them to the brink of playoff elimination. Meanwhile, Colorado (57-98) must win at least six of their last seven games to avoid becoming the first team to lose 100 games in four consecutive seasons since the 1962-65 New York Mets.
