The Seattle Mariners have showcased exceptional performance during their ongoing 10-game road trip, achieving a 5-1 record so far. Highlighting this success is outfielder Julio Rodriguez, who demonstrated his power by hitting a grand slam and a three-run homer in the series against the Chicago White Sox. With a strong month under his belt, Rodriguez has accumulated impressive stats, including 32 runs and nine home runs this season. Given his history of slow starts, his early heating up marks a significant development for him and the team overall.
Rodriguez hit the second grand slam of his career in the Mariners' win in Game 1 on Monday and hit a three-run home run in Game 3 on Wednesday. This marked the first time a player hit a grand slam and three-run homer in the same series since Jake Fraley did it on July 3 & 5, 2021, against the Los Angeles Angels.
Julio Rodriguez has been plagued with slow starts every season of his four-year career, but it looks he's starting to heat up earlier than he has in the past.
For the season, Rodriguez has scored 32 runs and has hit five doubles, two triples, nine homers and 28 RBIs in 48 games, leading to a slash line of .231/.309/.415 with a .724 OPS.
