The marquee moment Friday, when the Mariners snapped their eight-game home losing streak, occurred in the eighth inning.
Nelson Cruz crushed a three-run homer that propelled the Mariners to a 7-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics. It was Cruz missile, too, a 433-foot drive to left-center field.
It was also the 300th homer of his career and prompted a curtain call from the crowd of 22,213 at Safeco Field. Cruz obliged with a brief wave and big smile from the dugout steps.
"That song helped," Cruz said. "The Segura song."
Oh, right. The song.
Every player used "Que Fuee" by El Alfa as their walkup song Friday.
