Cleveland Indians were down 12-0 against the Seattle Mariners, before coming back to win 15-14.
The Cleveland Indians tied a major league record and became the first team in 76 years to overcome a 12-run deficit to win, defeating the Seattle Mariners 15-14 in 11 innings Sunday night.

It was the third time in the major leagues that a team came back from a 12-run deficit to win a game. The first time was on June 18, 1911, when Detroit came back to beat Chicago, 16-15. The second time, on June 15, 1925, Cleveland had the advantage over Philadelphia, but the Athletics came back to win, 17-15.
