FACTS/FLUKES: N. Cruz, Kennedy, Ellsbury, E. Santana, Cuthbert

Whiffs could catch up with Cruz…Hard to blame the Mariners’ offense for falling behind in the AL West race—they’ve produced the second most HR in the AL. As last year, Nelson Cruz (DH/OF, SEA) contributes on a regular basis. While his four-year deal before the 2015 seemed excessive to some, Cruz continues to let his bat do the talking.
