3. Cano Ties Personal Home Run Mark- In Win 6

Whether you agree with Cano’s $240 million dollar contract or not, it’s hard to say he’s not earning it this year. On Monday he hit a season-tying best thirty-third home run. It is the first time he has surpassed the thirty home run mark in a season during his brief, injury-riddled Mariner career.

Cano stepped into the batters box for his second at bat in Anaheim. He would take the first pitch out of the park, giving the Mariners a 2-0 lead.

Cano needs one more big fly to set a personal best in home runs. If he hits two more this season, he will match he previous total over the past two seasons. This home run was the thirty-third reasons to believe Robinson Cano is at his best a thirty-three years of age.
