Mariners notebook: Robinson Cano appreciates team's new emphasis on situational hitting

Despite a valiant comeback effort by Team Cruz in Day 2 of the Mariners' situational-hitting game, Team Cano hung on and took the 185-178 victory.

"You buy lunch!" Cano shouted as Gaby Sanchez took the final at-bat for Team Cruz.

It was determined in the morning meeting that the losing team would buy lunch for the entire building – major leaguers, minor leaguers, coaches, staff and possibly media, too.

"It should be nice, you guys were there. I'm going to ask that tomorrow," Cano said of the possibility of the media being included.
