Mariners Weekly Rundown: Who’s Hot & Who’s Not

The Mariners are on a roll, and the recent performances of Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager are a huge reason why.

It was another successful week for the Seattle Mariners. The M’s spent the past seven days away from Safeco Field, and oddly, being away from home is never a bad thing for this group. The Mariners finished the week with a record of 5-2, and currently lead the American League West by half a game over the Texas Rangers.

The Mariners began the week by doing some spring cleaning, sweeping the three game series against the Oakland Athletics. They then took a trip to Houston, and split the four-game weekend series with the last place Astros.

It was obviously a very productive week for the Mariners. Overall, the M’s averaged 4.86 runs per game during the past 7 contests. The pitching was equally as impressive, allowing just 4.14 runs per game.

It’s fair to say that the Mariners will end their lengthy playoff drought in 2016 if they can continue to play consistently. Seattle is 18-13 on the season, and are the proud owners of the best road record (13-5) in the American League.

Today we will take a closer look at which individuals stood out this week for the Mariners. Robinson Cano had arguably the best 7-game stretch of anyone in baseball, and he is the first player that warrants attention.
