Good morning everybody! The Mariners continue to break records.
The #Mariners have homered in each of their first 14 games of the season, matching the 2002 Cleveland Indians for the longest streak of consecutive games with a home run to begin a season.

Let’s keep it going!
In Mariners news...
- With the rash of bullpen injuries they’ve suffered, the Mariners have added a veteran righty you may remember well from his Rangers days in Neftali Feliz. He’ll report to AAA-Tacoma. After a mid-career velocity dip, Feliz appeared back up to the mid and upper 90s the last couple seasons. Despite debuting in 2009 and winning the 2010 AL Rookie of the Year, Feliz has only just turned 30.
Mariners signing RHP Neftali Feliz to a minor league deal. Pitched last year at Reno in the PCL.
