Seattle Mariners Mash, Bullpen Shines in 6-5 victory
Dingers, dingers, and more dingers. If it weren’t for Wednesday’s 1-0 loss that ended the Mariners home-run streak to begin the season at 20 games, the team would continue to chase history beyond Saturday’s win.
In the two games that followed the conclusion of the streak, the Mariners hit 7 home runs. Saturday’s 6-5 win over the Angels was no different, as Seattle mashed another four.
The blasts tied the 2000 St. Louis Cardinals for the most home runs in the first 24 games of a season in MLB history. Though all were solo shots, the home runs accounted for two-thirds of the offense, as four of the Mariners six runs were via the long ball.
