Mariners Power Surge: No Singles, Just Homers

0:00It's March 28th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Seattle Mariners News Today, your AI-powered team report. The Seattle Mariners kicked off their season 1-1 against the Cleveland Guardians at home, dropping the opener, but bouncing back in game 2, Sid at 500. They're chasing deep playoff runs with one of baseball's top lineups, and early on, they flex serious power, smashing six homers over those first. Two contests, dig deeper, and their offense hits a quirky milestone. All nine of their hits were extra bases, with no singles anywhere in sight. That means two doubles, one triple, and those six long balls, plus nine walks to keep rallies alive, even on a team batting 155 through. 58 ad bats. Fans and stat heads are buzzing because this is wild history, the first team since 1900 to open a season without a single liner. It's only the ninth time any squads pulled that off and back-to-back games, last seen with the Cubs in 2021.

1:02Players like Dominic Handzone and Luke Rally each went deep twice, while Cole Young crushed a three-run shot, and others chipped in doubles or that. Triple. They still cross the plate nine times total, proven you don't need bleeders to score when you're raking extras. This funky streak's got everyone watching. How long can Seattle ride the powerway before a single sneaks in, keeping their bats this entertaining all? Year.
