Mitch Haniger is now officially the king of walkoffs for the Seattle Mariners.
Mariners beat Tigers 4-3 on Haniger’s walkoff 3-run double
The veteran outfielder came through in the clutch yet again on Thursday night, lining a three-run walkoff double into right field to give the Mariners a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. It came just five days after his walkoff this past Saturday night, when he drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift Seattle to a 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Haniger now has a franchise-record eight career walkoffs – all with the Mariners. Jim Presley held the previous franchise record with seven. Haniger’s eight walkoffs since the start of the 2018 season are tied for the most in MLB over that span, according to MLB researcher Sarah Langs.
