OAKLAND — Yonder Alonso found his power-hitting comfort zone at the Coliseum earlier this season, and it resulted in his first All-Star Game selection.
Now he does his damage in a Mariners uniform, and the A’s could do without the power he’s shown the past two nights.
Alonso, traded from Oakland to Seattle in August, went deep for the second night in a row Tuesday, and another former Athletic, Danny Valencia, added the knockout blow with a three-run shot to lift the Mariners to a 6-3 victory.
It was a trip down memory lane that A’s manager Bob Melvin could have done without.
