Josh Naylor and Cole Young create playful butt slide during Mariners game
Summary

During a game against the Houston Astros, Josh Naylor and Cole Young unintentionally executed a humorous play, dubbed a 'butt slide.' In the second inning, after Víctor Robles hit a triple, both players attempted to score. Naylor's misjudgment at home plate led Young to slide through Naylor's legs to avoid a collision, allowing both to score. The Mariners are currently five games behind the AL West leaders. While the incident provided levity amid a disappointing season, it showcases the need for the team to elevate its performance.
