The first was hit by Brendan Donovan, April 7 at Texas. His leadoff home run is also the third by a Mariners player this season. Donovan accomplished the feet March 26 vs. Cleveland and April 7 at Texas. The Mariners three leadoff homers this season leads MLB.
• Julio Rodríguez extended his on-base streak to 16 games, the fourth longest of his career and longest since 2025. His on-base streak is tied for the third longest active on-base streak in MLB, and is also ranked third for the longest on-base streak recorded this season.

• Cole Young is 4-for-8 with three walks, two RBI, and a stolen base over the first three games of the Mariners’ six-game homestand.
