Polanco, who is playing on a surgically-repaired knee, is looking like the All-Star that the M's thought they were getting before the 2024 season.

Julio Rodriguez and Mitch Garver also homered and rookie Ben Williamson drove in four runs for the Mariners, who won for the third time in their past four games and improved to 12-5 over their past 17 to move into a first-place tie with Texas atop the American League West.

Julio Rodriguez hammered the first pitch thrown in the bottom of the first inning and Jorge Polanco went back-to-back two pitches later as the Mariners rolled to a 14-0 win.
