Tonight on Mariners Mondays from ROOT SPORTS — four games against the Detroit Tigers, four different heroes, and four straight wins.
Last June, catcher Mike Zunino put together an offensive outburst that had some people calling him Mike Junino. By the time the Detroit Tigers came to Safeco Field for a four-game series June 19–22, Zunino, with a new approach at the plate, had already set a franchise record for most RBI by a catcher in one month.
Zunino’s three-week offensive romp continued on June 19 when he hit two of the game’s two-run homers (Guillermo Heredia had the other) to power the Mariners to a 6–2 win.
