ANAHEIM -- While Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano both hit their 300th career home runs this season, outfielder Jacob Hannemann is at the other end of the spectrum.
But you've got to start somewhere and Hannemann -- a 26-year-old rookie claimed off waivers from the Cubs earlier this month -- tallied the first homer of his career in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.
The Mariners added Hannemann primarily for his speed and defense after Jarrod Dyson was sidelined by sports hernia surgery. And now with Guillermo Heredia also on the shelf due to a shoulder issue that will require surgery next week, Hannemann got his third and fourth starts with the Mariners on Saturday and Sunday.
