Seattle Mariners Make MLB History in Latest Win Against Athletics
In this story:
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners snapped a five-game losing streak in a 3-2 win against the Athletics on Friday at T-Mobile Park.
It was the first game for the Mariners back at home after a nine-game road trip that saw the team go 2-7 and drop three consecutive series. It was also a history-making day for the organization.
All three of Seattle's runs came via solo home runs by first baseman Josh Naylor in the bottom of the fifth; and third baseman Eugenio Suarez and designated hitter Jorge Polanco in the bottom of the seventh.
Naylor's homer was the 100th of his seven-year career.

Naylor became the fifth Mariners player to reach the 100 career-homer mark this season, and the team became the first in MLB history to have that many players reach that milestone.
Cal Raleigh hit his 100th homer April 16, Mitch Garver hit his June 20, Randy Arozarena reached 100 home runs June 30 and Julio Rodriguez knocked his 100th homer Aug. 3.
The @Mariners are the first team in @MLB history to have 5 players hit their 100th career home run in the same season.
