Mariners' historic 10-run comeback by the numbers
The Seattle Mariners pulled off the extremely improbable Thursday night.
Down 12-2 on the road to the San Diego Padres through five innings, the Mariners woke up and pulled off a stunning 10-run comeback - the largest in team history - capped by a furious nine-run seventh inning. When it was all said and done, the Mariners walked away with a 16-13 win that left everybody speechless.
"I don't think I've ever been a part of anything like that," Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager told reporters. "That was incredible. The fight was pretty special."
Padres manager Andy Green had a slightly different view of the evening's events.
''It's one of those things that's borderline inexplicable,'' he said of his team coughing up a 10-run cushion, now the largest blown lead in Padres history.
Here's a closer look at Thursday's historic comeback by the numbers:
7: Number of consecutive two-out singles hit by the Mariners in the nine-run seventh to complete the comeback. It still wasn't close to the major-league record for singles in one inning, which is 12.
2009: The last time baseball saw a 10-run comeback. On July 20 of that year, the Athletics pulled off the miracle, erasing a 10-run deficit to stun the Twins, 14-13. It was the second of two 10-run rallies in baseball that season.

11: Number of Mariners runners in scoring position who came around to score. They went 11-for-12 with men in scoring position.
.252: The Mariners' team average with runners in scoring position coming into Thursday's game, which was ranked 16th in baseball. Thursday's outburst bumped that mark up 19 points, to .271 - now the majors' 10th-highest RISP average.
9: Number of runs Mariners starter Wade Miley allowed, to go along with 12 hits. The comeback saved him from a loss, making him the first pitcher to allow at least that many runs and hits but not lose since Zack Greinke in 2005. "I knew going in if I could hold 'em to 12, we had a chance," he quipped afterwards.
10: Number of runs the Mariners trailed by after five innings before coming back. Seattle's the first team to win a game while trailing by 10-or-more runs after five innings since the 2001 Indians, who rallied from a 14-2 deficit after six to beat - coincidentally - the Mariners in extra innings.

1990: The last time a team erased a 10-run deficit after five innings in a game that didn't go extras. On Aug. 21 of that year, the Phillies trailed the Dodgers 11-1 through seven, then scored two in the eighth and added nine runs in the ninth to steal a 12-11 win.
29, 36: Combined totals of runs and hits between the two clubs, making this game the highest-scoring affair in Petco Park history. The 36 total hits are the most at Petco in a nine-inning game.
5: Hits for Padres center fielder Jon Jay in the loss, to go along with two runs scored, and two RBIs. He joins Dave Winfield, Gene Richards, Ryan Klesko, and Alexi Amarista as the only Padres hitters to have at least that many hits, runs, and RBIs in a loss.
3: Hits for Mariners first baseman Dae-Ho Lee off the bench, which included a pinch-hit three-run home run in the five-run sixth inning. It's the 22nd time in history a pinch-hitter has gone 3-for-3 with a homer, and the first since Curtis Granderson in 2012.

1: Number of RBIs in 2016 for Mariners shortstop Shawn O'Malley, who drove in the game-winning run. He entered the game in the top of the seventh on a double-switch.
99.9: The percentage chance Fangraphs gave the Padres of winning Thursday's game after five innings of play.
