Saunders hits leadoff on Ackley's night off

Saunders Caps Big Night With A Slam

From Elias: Michael Saunders hit two home runs including a tenth-inning grand slam in the Mariners' win over the Blue Jays. Saunders is the third player in Mariners history to hit two at least two homers in a game with one of them being an extra-inning grand slam. Jim Presley did it in 1986 against the Angels and Richie Sexson did it in 2005 at Minnesota. The Mariners, who have been in existence since 1977, have more such players than any other team in major league history.
