Nationals manager Blake Butera on Colt Emerson:
"He's burned us a couple times with home runs, and just gives you a really good at-bat. It's very mature approach when he's up there for a 20-year-old, and also made a heck of a play that infield in to get Curtis [Mead] there."

Another error from the Mariners, this one from Eduard Bazardo on a pickoff attempt -- and the third of the day that leads to a run.
It’s wide to Josh Naylor and gets by him, allowing CJ Abrams to race home from third base easily.
That makes this a 7-3 game in the 7th inning.

Colt Emerson, saving a run.
With the infield in, he twists from one knee and with a quick transfer to the plate -- coupled with a quick tag from Mitch Garver.
The out is upheld after a Nationals challenge, too.

It’s now 6-3 with no outs here in the bottom of the 7th inning, as a grounder from CJ Abrams sneaks around the runner advancing from second base and past Colt Emerson.
That followed a leadoff double and walk from Jose A. Ferrer.

The Mariners leave the bases loaded here in the 7th inning, Josh Naylor works into a 2-0 count vs. lefty Richard Lovelady but pops out to center field.
They'll have six outs to work with the rest of the way, trailing 5-3.
Jose A. Ferrer will take over.

Colt Emerson keeps the Mariners’ two-out rally alive here in the 7th inning when beating CJ Abrams to second base, after a grounder from Cole Young nicked off the third baseman, who was shaded in a shift.
That’ll bring up Julio Rodríguez as the go-ahead run.

Luis Castillo’s day is done, after walking No. 9 hitter Nasim Nuñez in a full count. He came one out away from clearing the 6th inning, with five runs total but only two of them earned.
Gabe Speier takes over to face James Wood, with two runners on.

And Speier gets out of it by working into a 2-2 count then getting Wood to ground out to Colt Emerson.
The Mariners have nine outs to work with, trailing 5-3.

The Mariners fall back behind -- 5-3 here in the 5th inning -- after Luis Castillo surrenders a two-run homer to Luis García Jr.
It comes just after James Wood reached on an error from Miles Mastrobuoni at 3B.
That’s 2 today for the Mariners that have come around to score.

Colt Emerson, earlier today on hitting with two strikes:
"Two strikes is the same as no strikes. You're just looking for your pitch, and you can't think about it too much, you know? If he makes a good pitch and you strike out, you got four more at-bats."

Another look at Colt Emerson's second-deck homer just now...
0-2 count, 97.9 mph fastball way up-and-in -- but a strike -- and yanked just inside the right-field foul pole.

What an impressive start to his career. That’s already No. 6.

Mitch Garver puts the Mariners on the board with an RBI single to shallow center. It caps an eight-pitch at-bat that began in an 0-2 count.
And it scores Miles Mastrobuoni, who reached on a fielder’s choice then advanced to second on a throwing error.

Victor Robles, robbed of extra bases.
He crushes this one 411 feet and 105.6 mph off the bat, but Dylan Crews makes a remarkable catch in the deepest part of Nationals Park.
Per Statcast, that's a homer in 17 ballparks.

Dominic Canzone takes a full-count sweeper off his left foot.
He’s examined by assistant athletic trainer Kevin Orloski but will remain in this game.

Luis Castillo getting tagged quite a bit here in the 1st inning, though a one-out error from Josh Naylor loomed large.
It sparks a three-spot, manufactured via three straight hits, including a triple to Daylen Lile. All runs unearned.
The Nats took 11 swings, only one whiff.
