Want to know a sign that Nelson Cruz is finally feeling healthy?
He reached base in front of Kyle Seager in the seventh inning of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays when Seager rocketed a go-ahead two-run home run over the right field wall in the eventual 5-4 Seattle Mariners victory.
Cruz crossed home plate, trotted toward the dugout and turned around to leap into Seager’s arms. It’s their thing, with Cruz remembering back to his first year with the Mariners three seasons ago when he and Seager embraced for an awkward couple of seconds in Tampa Bay.
