Mariners Closer Andrés Muñoz Accused of Pitch Tipping in Blown Save Against Yankees

Mariners All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz faced controversy after teammate Cal Raleigh publicly alleged that Muñoz was tipping his pitches during the critical ninth inning of Thursday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the New York Yankees. Raleigh claimed the Yankees were making signals from second base, leading to two runs scored against Muñoz and the eventual blown save. Despite Raleigh's assertions, Mariners manager Dan Wilson stated he did not believe Muñoz was tipping pitches. Muñoz is also slated to attend the All-Star Game in Atlanta.
