When Seattle’s Jarred Kelenic hit residence runs on three consecutive days at Chicago’s Wrigley Field final month, his teammates got here up with a postgame chant.
“Hap-py Jar-red! Hap-py Jar-red!” they sang in unison.
There had been a number of extra stanzas Monday evening after Kelenic hit a 455-foot residence run within the first inning, sparking Seattle to an 11-2 victory in opposition to the Oakland Athletics. The four-game sequence between the American League West rivals will proceed Tuesday evening in Seattle
“Happy Jarred, Happy Mariners,” Seattle supervisor Scott Servais stated. “Guys have little slogans, things that kind of catch fire, so to speak, throughout the course of the year
“It was Ty France who began it … and now it turns into the postgame celebration. It’s what brings groups collectively, and it is taking place to a younger participant who’s embracing it, which is de facto good.”
Kelenic, 23, struggled through his first couple of seasons in the major leagues, batting just .168 through his first 500 at-bats, but he has broken out this year. After going 3-for-4 on Monday, he’s batting .297 with a team-leading 10 homers and 25 RBIs and an on-base plus slugging percentage of .914.
Perhaps most impressive has been his performance against left-handed pitchers.
On Sunday, Kelenic homered off Atlanta’s Jared Shuster. It was Seattle’s only hit in six innings against the left-hander. A day later, Kelenic went deep off of Oakland’s Kyle Muller in another left-vs.-left matchup.
In 43 at-bats against southpaws this season, Kelenic is batting .349 with four homers, 12 RBIs and a 1.099 OPS, making the planned platoon with AJ Pollock moot.
“He’s most likely been our greatest hitter in opposition to lefties,” Servais said. “Who woulda thunk that coming into the season?”
The A’s, who have lost five games in a row, welcomed back outfielder/first baseman Seth Brown, who had been out since suffering a Grade 2 left oblique strain April 8 on a check swing. Brown, who led the A’s in home runs (25) and RBIs (73) last season, went 2-for-4 and drove in a run on Monday.
Oakland was blanked for six innings by Mariners ace Luis Castillo
“We had an opportunity there within the sixth with Jace (Peterson) up and the bases loaded to get again within the sport,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “He executed a superb changeup and acquired the groundout.”
On Tuesday, A’s right-hander Luis Medina (0-2, 6.88 ERA) is scheduled to match up against Seattle lefty Marco Gonzales (3-1, 6.10).
Medina will make his fourth career start and his first against the Mariners. After losing his first two starts, he got a no-decision Wednesday against Arizona, allowing three runs on three hits over six innings of a 5-3 loss. The 24-year-old walked two and matched a career-high with six strikeouts
Gonzales is 10-4 with a 3.78 ERA in 19 career games against the A’s, including 18 starts. He suffered his first loss of the season Wednesday at Boston, when he allowed eight runs in 1 2/3 innings. His ERA skyrocketed from 4.42 to 6.10.

On Tuesday, A’s right-hander Luis Medina (0-2, 6.88 ERA) is scheduled to match up against Seattle lefty Marco Gonzales (3-1, 6.10).
Medina will make his fourth career start and his first against the Mariners. After losing his first two starts, he got a no-decision Wednesday against Arizona, allowing three runs on three hits over six innings of a 5-3 loss. The 24-year-old walked two and matched a career-high with six strikeouts
Gonzales is 10-4 with a 3.78 ERA in 19 career games against the A’s, including 18 starts. He suffered his first loss of the season Wednesday at Boston, when he allowed eight runs in 1 2/3 innings. His ERA skyrocketed from 4.42 to 6.10.

When Seattle’s Jarred Kelenic hit residence runs on three consecutive days at Chicago’s Wrigley Field final month, his teammates got here up with a postgame chant.
“Hap-py Jar-red! Hap-py Jar-red!” they sang in unison.
There had been a number of extra stanzas Monday evening after Kelenic hit a 455-foot residence run within the first inning, sparking Seattle to an 11-2 victory in opposition to the Oakland Athletics. The four-game sequence between the American League West rivals will proceed Tuesday evening in Seattle
“Happy Jarred, Happy Mariners,” Seattle supervisor Scott Servais stated. “Guys have little slogans, things that kind of catch fire, so to speak, throughout the course of the year
“It was Ty France who began it … and now it turns into the postgame celebration. It’s what brings groups collectively, and it is taking place to a younger participant who’s embracing it, which is de facto good.”
Kelenic, 23, struggled through his first couple of seasons in the major leagues, batting just .168 through his first 500 at-bats, but he has broken out this year. After going 3-for-4 on Monday, he’s batting .297 with a team-leading 10 homers and 25 RBIs and an on-base plus slugging percentage of .914.
Perhaps most impressive has been his performance against left-handed pitchers.
On Sunday, Kelenic homered off Atlanta’s Jared Shuster. It was Seattle’s only hit in six innings against the left-hander. A day later, Kelenic went deep off of Oakland’s Kyle Muller in another left-vs.-left matchup.
In 43 at-bats against southpaws this season, Kelenic is batting .349 with four homers, 12 RBIs and a 1.099 OPS, making the planned platoon with AJ Pollock moot.
“He’s most likely been our greatest hitter in opposition to lefties,” Servais said. “Who woulda thunk that coming into the season?”
The A’s, who have lost five games in a row, welcomed back outfielder/first baseman Seth Brown, who had been out since suffering a Grade 2 left oblique strain April 8 on a check swing. Brown, who led the A’s in home runs (25) and RBIs (73) last season, went 2-for-4 and drove in a run on Monday.
Oakland was blanked for six innings by Mariners ace Luis Castillo
“We had an opportunity there within the sixth with Jace (Peterson) up and the bases loaded to get again within the sport,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “He executed a superb changeup and acquired the groundout.”
