Julio Rodríguez

Julio Rodriguez’s penchant for coming up big continued in his Seattle Mariners meeting with the Texas Rangers yesterday afternoon. After being down, 2-1, in the seventh inning, J-Rod sent a three-run blast over the left-field wall to hand his Club the lead and their eventual victory. The clutch longball was belted off Rangers hurler Jon Gray, and enlivened the fans at T-Mobile Park. Rodriguez’s rookie season marches on in tremendous, grand fashion after Wednesday’s 4-2 Mariners victory.
