“I bet the Mariners tonight. Winning 5-0 and throwing a no-hitter until the bottom of 8th,” Portnoy said on X. “Now heading to extras. This league will kill you.”
After Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo pitched a no-hitter through seven innings, the Yankees battled back to 5-3 — thanks to a pinch-hit Giancarlo Stanton home run — going into the bottom of the ninth.
With Mariners closer Andres Munoz seemingly tipping his pitches in the ninth, the Yankees were able to battle back and tie the game going into the ninth inning with a two-out, two-run single by Austin Wells.
Aaron Judge then stepped to the plate with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the tenth and hit a shallow fly ball to center field that was caught by Julio Rodriguez, who attempted to throw out the tagging-up Volpe.

The throw was nearly perfect, but Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh missed the tag, and Volpe was safe to seal a wild 6-5 comeback win in the Bronx.
“Worst f–king tag in the history of baseball,” Portnoy posted on X after the play. “I will not sleep tonight.”
Sleeping on it did not help Portnoy’s mood.
“Can’t believe the Mariners blew that game last night,” he wrote on X on Friday morning.
Portnoy has been known to bet big in his gambling career, consistently wagering five figures at the minimum and even wagering $1 million on the Buffalo Bills to win the Super Bowl last season.
