Honorable Mentions

There are of course moments that were also very important, but just didn’t make the list. Here are a few honorable mentions.

Robinson Cano would go on to obliterate his previous home run mark of thirty-three in a season. He would finish this year with thirty-nine.

We could have known he was going to do something special this year, because in his first at-bat of the season, he hit a home-run. It was a no-doubter. In fact, it had just enough height and carry to it that it barley left the yard. Yet, it was a home run none-the-less.

Next: Seattle Mariners Vs. Seattle Seahawks

On the last day of the month, it would be Wade Miley who was stealing the show. In his short lived Mariners career he was able to achieve a career first. Miley would pitch a complete-game, five-hit shutout, defeating the Royals. In that game he walked no batters and struck out four. It was one of the best outings of his career in large part due to his first shutout.
