Seattle Mariners Make Random History Not Seen Since 1987 in Rout of Texas Rangers
In this story:
The Seattle Mariners just kept on rolling Friday night, bludgeoning the Texas Rangers 13-1 at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
With the win, Seattle is 19-12 on the season and in first place in the American League West. Texas dropped to 16-17 and sits in fourth.
It was a total team effort, as the M's got a great starting pitching performance from Bryan Woo, while also pounding out 17 hits. Cal Raleigh was 2-for-4 with two homers and five RBIs, including a grand slam, and Julio Rodriguez was 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, raising his average to .216.
Woo went 6.1 innings, giving up just one hit and no walks while striking out eight. He's 4-1 on the season with a 2.58 ERA.
After the game, Mariners' PR man Alex Mayer, who has become famous for his random fun facts, delivered a real gem:
The @Mariners are first team to have a player with 2+ HR game & grand slam (Cal Raleigh), SP go >6 IP (Bryan Woo) and hit in MLB debut (Rhylan Thomas) in the SAME GAME since Cubs on June 1, 1987: Andre Dawson 2 HR/GS, Jamie Moyer 7 IP, and Paul Noce hit in MLB debut.
