Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Edwin Encarnación hit a homer in tonight’s game.
And Kyle Seager.
That’s right — a player who signed with the Mariners organization yesterday, and who took batting practice earlier today in TACOMA, wound up going yard against one of the best teams in baseball. And the Seattle Mariners — the same team that’s won just 12 of its last 49 games, the one that finds a way to sow doubt at almost every turn — dominated the Astros today 14–1 in front of 13,652 brave souls.
