Following a productive series at the plate against Detroit, the Mariners continued their hot hitting, exploding for 7 runs and 19 hits. On the mound, Felix Hernandez looked like his dominant self and despite some shoddy relief work, the M's won handily against their division rival in a game that never really felt close.
Logan Morrison led off the bottom of the first with a homer and Robinson Cano nearly made it back-to-back blasts, doubling off of the right-center field wall. The rally was short-circuited when Cano was thrown out at the plate after a single from Kyle Seager -- tip of the cap to Kole Calhoun for a great throw -- but the M's tacked on another in the second.
