Regular Season Series

SEATTLE -- A little of the pressure to contribute right away with his new club has been lifted from Yonder Alonso.

Hitting a grand slam in just the second game of the season will take away some stress.

"After this game, doing something for the team, I think it helps you get settled a little bit, which is nice," Alonso said.

Alonso hit his third career grand slam in the first inning, Yan Gomes added a two-run shot and the Cleveland Indians held on for a 6-5 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday.
