Game two of the 1997 season for the Seattle Mariners was a 16-2 loss to the Yankees at the Kingdome.
Scott Sanders got the ball for the M's and he was facing Andy Pettitte and an apparently angry Yankee lineup.
New York got off to a fast start with three first inning runs. With one out, Sanders walked Wade Boggs and Bernie Williams. Then, Tino Martinez cranked a three-run homer.
Seattle got a run back in the bottom of the first on a Jay Buhner RBI single.
But, Martinez struck again in the top of the third. Williams walked to start the inning and Martinez hit his second home run of the day.
A Dan Wilson single in the bottom of the third got the M's to within 5-2, but that was if for their scoring on the day.
Martinez finished off his power spree with a solo home run in the fifth off Sanders. When all was finished on this day, Tino was 4-for-6 with seven RBI and five runs scored against his former team.
Former Appleton Fox Alex Rodriguez was 1-for-5 on the day for Seattle.
