“The walk-off walk is brutal work,” one fan said.
“How the f**k did we win,” another fan wrote.

“The fact that Abreu has practically no reaction and just calmly walks off the mound is hilarious,” one fan commented.
“Mariners aren’t really allowed to play baseball till the last couple innings to give the other teams a chance. Let’s just go with that,” another fan said.
“HEY ASTROS, WELCOME TO RANDYLAND!!!!!,” one fan added.
Mariners manager Dan Wilson opens up about Randy Arozarena’s solid performance
In a postgame interview following Wednesday’s victory, Seattle Mariners manager Dan Wilson praised Randy Arozarena’s stellar performance.
"You talk about being selective, being careful — Randy with the grand slam and then a walk-off walk," Wilson said via SI.com.
"It's just a great at-bat there. Right down the line when you talk about the at-bats late in the game to come back. And that's not to mention what's inside the heart of each and every one of those guys," he added.
Arozarena went 2-for-3, scoring one run and recording five RBIs along with two walks. The Mariners are now set to begin a three-game series against the Texas Rangers at T-Mobile Park on Friday.
