Out of Right Field: Recap, takeaways from the Seattle Mariners’ 6-2 victory against the Texas Rangers

Now that’s a Vogelbomb.

Daniel Vogelbach hit a ball into the upper deck in right field at T-Mobile Park, becoming only the second player to do so in a game, as the Mariners snapped a six-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory against the Texas Rangers on Monday night.

Vogelbach’s two-run blast off Jose Leclerc gave the M’s a 5-2 lead. The play was reviewed as the ball cleared the right-field foul pole but the call stood.

The Anaheim Angels’ Mo Vaughn reached the upper deck with a 441-foot homer in 1999, the season the ballpark opened.

Of note

LHP Tommy Milone (1-1) earned his first victory since last Aug. 1, when pitching for the Washington Nationals. Milone went 5 2/3 innings and gave up two runs on four hits, with one walk and seven strikeouts. … CF Mallex Smith tied a franchise record with four stolen bases. … The M’s closed out the victory with three relievers – Jesse Biddle, Austin Adams and Anthony Bass – acquired this month. Bass pitched the ninth for his first save with Seattle.

By the numbers

28-12: The M’s record on Memorial Day.

Our take from Right Field

If Vogelbach’s homer wasn’t enough excitement, Smith stole home on a pickoff play in the eighth inning to cap the scoring.

These M’s might be bad, but they can be interesting to watch.

Up next
