Ryon Healy watched as the ball soared into the high-altitude marine layer. He trotted out of the batter’s box, watched the ball land into the upper deck past left field and pointed at the Seattle Mariners dugout behind him as he turned into his home-run trot.
Just another Mariners comeback victory.
Healy’s known for streaky stretches in his young career after playing his first full major-league season last year with the Oakland Athletics. This was the kind of streak the Mariners much enjoy.
The first baseman tied a career-high with five RBI, including that go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth inning and the Mariners’ bullpen shut the Colorado Rockies down after that in a 6-4 win to stave off a potential three-game sweep.
