Elephant Rumblings: Melvin Not Worried About Olson’s HR Tally, A’s Prospects Heating Up

Matt Olson hit a million homers last year, and this year he has three, none since April 16. Bob Melvin cited Olson's OBP, in .350 range, and said, "Sometimes power hitters get streaky as far as the home runs go. He’ll get it going.”

Dee Gordon is now 10-for-14 in this 3-game series vs. Oakland. He is one of four #Mariners in club history (done 5x) with at least 10 hits in a 3-game series (last: Ichiro Suzuki, 11 H, 9/20-22/04 at LAA and Raúl Ibañez, 10 H, 9/20-22/04 at LAA).
