Mariners' Leonys Martin: Homers in win over Oakland

Martin hit his ninth home run, scored twice, knocked in two runs and walked in a 1-for-4 game in Tuesday's win over Oakland.

Analysis:

With that, Martin has already set a career high in home runs. At 28 years old, he should be at his power production peak, but this is totally unprecedented from the center fielder. Even if his power drops off a bit, Martin is scoring runs from his spot atop the Mariners lineup and has seven steals in 10 chances and will likely keep running as the season goes on.
