Seattle Mariners at Boston Red Sox

The Mariners’ celebratory home run trident was wielded regularly on Tuesday night.  And that included a first-time participant who -- by all forecasts, based on what he accomplished in the Minors -- could become a regular. Lazaro Montes, arguably Seattle’s most prominent power-hitting prospect of this era, crushed the first home run of what will likely be many in the big leagues upon making his MLB debut at Fenway Park. And it was as emphatic as the club and its fans could’ve hoped for after he joined the 28-man roster as a September callup earlier in the day.  The tape-measure shot beyond straightaway center traveled a Statcast-projected 407 feet and was easily the highlight of a 9-6 win over the Red Sox -- one that was plastered with Montes’ emotion throughout the dugout then in the postgame clubhouse. “Amazing, man,” Montes said. “I'm trying to be me, be myself -- like they told me, and like I learned. I give it my 100 percent, no matter what happens. ... And I helped the team win. That's the most important thing for me.” Randy Arozarena also continued his monster series, demolishing his second homer in as many days over the Green Monster in the second inning, and Dominic Canzone kickstarted things with a massive blast way beyond the bullpens in the first.  The deep flies were among the Mariners’ 14 hits that helped wash away the sting of a weekend sweep in Toronto -- followed by one of their most demoralizing losses of the year on Monday at Fenway. The totality of the production was contagious, and it was impossible not to draw a correlation of it all to Montes, Seattle's No. 5 prospect and MLB's No. 56 overall prospect who arrived Tuesday with the boisterous attitude that’s been as advertised to his ascent as his bat, which ranks second in the Minors with 38 homers this season.
