In the two games that followed the conclusion of the streak, the Mariners hit 7 home runs. Saturday’s 6-5 win over the Angels was no different, as Seattle mashed another four.
The blasts tied the 2000 St. Louis Cardinals for the most home runs in the first 24 games of a season in MLB history. Though all were solo shots, the home runs accounted for two-thirds of the offense, as four of the Mariners six runs were via the long ball.
Aside from the historical power surge, the Mariners piled on runs in yet another ballgame, adding to their American League lead in runs scored.
