WYATT MILLS

Mitch Haniger hit two identical three-run homers and the Seattle Mariners gained precious ground in the AL wild-card race with a 13-4 win over the Oakland Athletics.

Fernando Tatis Jr. homered twice, including a 447-foot grand slam, and drove in six runs for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Seattle Mariners 9-2 to sweep a nine-game homestand.

Fernando Tatis Jr. became the fastest shortstop in history to hit 50 home runs, punctuating his three-run shot with a bat flip, and made another spectacular defensive play for the San Diego Padres, who routed the Seattle Mariners 16-1 for their seventh straight win.

Four Seattle relievers were placed on the COVID-19 injured list after the Mariners reported a positive test within the team.

The major league debuts of outfielder Jarred Kelenic and pitcher Logan Gilbert are part of a major roster reshuffling for the Seattle Mariners.
