Seattle Mariners ’ Julio Rodríguez watches his two-run home run against the Oakland Athletics during the second inning of a baseball game Sunday, May 12, 2024, in Seattle. The Seattle Mariners slugger hit his first home run at home this season in Sunday’s game against the Oakland Athletics . Rodríguez clubbed a 2-2 pitch from Oakland starter Alex Wood out to straightaway center field in the second inning for a two-run shot that gave Seattle a 5-0 lead.
It was just the second homer all year for Rodríguez as the long ball has been missing from his game at the plate for most of the first six weeks of the season and especially at home. It took nearly a month before Rodríguez hit his first long ball on April 23 in Texas and almost three more weeks before he did it again.
Rodríguez’s homer was his first at T-Mobile Park since Sept. 28 last season against Texas in the final home series of the regular season. It had an exit velocity of 109 mph and traveled an estimated 409 feet.There had been signs that Rodríguez was starting to hit the ball harder and more consistently. That included Saturday’s game when he put three balls in play with exit velocity’s higher than 101 mph.
Last season, Rodríguez finished with 32 homers and 103 RBIs, with 14 of those home runs coming at home. He also homered on May 12 last year against Detroit.
