With one of the longest home runs in T-Mobile Park history, Luke Raley carried it on.
And Justin Turner, acquired after the trade deadline, completely turned the game around by hitting a grand slam in his first home game as a Mariners player.
In the second inning of Friday night’s series opener against the National League-leading Philadelphia Phillies, Seattle was ahead 8 to 0 before Turner reached home plate.
MLB-NEWS: The star infielder for the Minnesota Twins has officially announced his departure to join the Seattle Mariners. The star infielder and the Mariners head coach had a 30-minute bargaining session an hour ago, during which the player signed a massive 4-year, $138.3 million contract. Turner adds a grand slam after two Mariners hit upper-deck home runs, according to ESPN.
In the second inning, Raley added another shot over the deck when he blasted a three-run home ball that soared 459 feet into the upper deck in right field at 115.4 mph off the bat. In the Statcast era, which started in 2015, it was tied for the second-longest home run by a Mariners player at T-Mobile Park. Mike Zunino holds the record for the longest, having hit a 470-footer in 2018.
