TORONTO — It had been a relatively quiet start to May for Kyle Seager. Traditionally in his career, April slow starts bring May mash-fests. But coming into Thursday night’s series finale vs. the Blue Jays, he was hitting just .230 (7 for 30) with two doubles and a RBI in eight games.
But that May be changing.
Seager blasted a pair of homers, including a first-inning grand slam, to lead the Mariners’ offensive explosion that included 17 hits and four homers in a decisive 9-3 pummeling of the Blue Jays.
Seattle improved to 21-15 and picked up its eighth series win after dropping its previous series against the Angels.
