The 2025 Mariners: sixth team in MLB history to have 3 G in which they hit 4+ home runs in shutout win.

The first team to do it? The 1961 Yankees, the team Cal Raleigh (56 HR) & Eugenio Suárez (47 combined HR) are trying to join as only teammate duo (Maris/Mantle) with 50+ HR. #TheMayerGWS

The Mariners became first team in AL history to have each of their Top-5 in batting order (Arozarena, Raleigh, Rodríguez, Suárez, Polanco) record 3+ RBI in same game.

First in MLB since Braves (Deion Sanders, Blauser, Klesko, McGriff, Pendleton) on April 15, 1994. #TheMayerGWS

2014 was the first season of full replay challenges. And 2008 was the first season that home runs could be reviewed.

Like Julio Rodríguez today, the last definitive *infield hit* that scored TWO runs by a Mariners player I could find was Michael Saunders on May 22, 2014 vs. HOU.

Both Julio & Saunders’ hits:
• 7th inning
• 2 outs
• Broke tie game
• Challenged by opposing manager (unsuccessfully)
