Where didn’t they hit it?
They hit it left, right, far, near, there and even over Here – as in over the Hit It Here Café towering three sections above the right-field wall.
And they needed every one of them with the Oakland Athletics seeming to answer every one. Their 17 hits and four home runs led to a 10-8 victory on Saturday at Safeco Field for their fourth consecutive victory.
This was the sixth time in the Mariners’ 12 games they’ve scored at least five runs and the second time they’ve scored at least 10.
