MINNEAPOLIS — The Mariners’ season is now a week old. And there’s been a lot to take in from those six games. Two key players — Mike Zunino and Nelson Cruz — are already on the disabled list with injuries, including one from a failure to properly negotiate the dugout stairs. Felix Hernandez has made two starts with two very different results. His first was an example of what he could be going forward while his second was a reminder of what he’s been for much of the last two seasons. Dee Gordon has been outstanding. And the offense when it isn’t leaving a small village of runners on base is solid.
