Williams entered in the bottom of the seventh to protect a 7-4 Mariners lead and promptly got the first two outs before he began to fall apart. He hit Austin Hedges with a pitch and then walked back-to-back batters before giving up consecutive singles that evened the score at seven apiece. He was replaced by Dan Altavilla who gave up another single and then a walk-off home run to Wil Myers. When it was all said and done Williams was charged with a blown save and the loss. He now owns a 6.39 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and an 18:6 K/BB ratio over 12.2 innings.
