Mariners Break MLB Record with HR in 15th Straight Game to Open Season

The Mariners have been one of MLB's most pleasant surprises this season. They spent the offseason reshaping their roster, trading Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz and bringing in Edwin Encarnacion, Jay Bruce, Domingo Santana and Mallex Smith.
