The clouts included back-to-back jacks by Kenji Johjima and Matt Tuiasosopo in the fifth inning. Center fielder Franklin Gutierrez also hit a home run in the fifth.Video here
Tuiasosopo's first career big league home run tied a club record. He became the 21st player this season to hit at least one homer, matching the record previously shared by the 1983 and '98 teams.
Rookies Adam Moore and Michael Saunders are the only position players currently on the roster who have not hit a home run with the Mariners.
"I knew I hit it well," Tuiasosopo said. "I had been reading [in the team notes package] that one of us had to hit a homer to tie the record and I told Saunders that now he has to get on board."
A place to follow the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, the Midwest League, Minor League baseball, Major League Baseball, and everything in between in that order.

Someone didn't have faith...
that I caught this certain event and would fail to mention it. So, I got this e-mail....then almost said to heck with it...But, then, that wouldn't be right.
