The upstart Mariners became the first Major League team to homer in its first 15 games. And perhaps even more remarkably, Seattle improved to 13-2 on the season with a rebuilding team supposedly pointed more toward the future.

The Mariners' surprising start has been fueled by the long ball, as the rebuilt club now has 36 homers, tying it with the 2000 Cardinals for the most home runs in MLB history in the first 15 games of a season.

Well, now that they've finally played a real team, not so good.

17 games


Just when it appeared Verlander was unhittable -- and he was, with eight strikeouts in his first 10 batters faced -- Mitch Haniger launched a solo homer off the Astros' ace in the fourth inning to extend the Mariners’ MLB record to 17 consecutive games with a home run to start a season.

in a 6-4 loss

The Mariners rallied for three runs in the eighth on consecutive homers by Edwin Encarnacion and Omar Narvaez to extend Seattle's record streak to 19 games with a long ball to begin the season. Greg Allen made a tremendous diving catch in deep right-center field to end the inning
