SEATTLE — Mike Zunino's retooled swing following a demotion to the minors paid its biggest dividend yet for the surging Seattle Mariners.
Zunino hit his second homer of the game with two outs in the ninth inning, a two-run shot that gave the Mariners a 6-5 comeback victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.
Kyle Seager and Carlos Ruiz also homered for the Mariners, who overcame a three-run deficit and won for the ninth time in 10 games.
"Really excited for Mike Zunino. Everybody knows the ability he has, but to try to see him get the performance," Seattle manager Scott Servais said.
