CLEVELAND -- For Kyle Seager, the perfect slump buster seems to be a series at Progressive Field. The Mariners' third baseman shrugged off a slow early-season start with a pair of hits -- including a home run -- in Tuesday's 3-2 series-opening loss to the Indians.
Seager has made a habit of haunting the Indians in their home park since his arrival in the Majors in 2011, and he hiked his batting average there to a healthy .418 by snapping a hitless streak that had reached 18 at-bats before his fourth-inning base hit to left.
