Homers to extend winning-streak Santana went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

The first baseman had only hit four home runs in 52 games played with the Royals in 2022, so the new team environment appears to be to his liking. Santana's third-inning blast helped lift the Mariners to their 13th win in a row. He figures to be an everyday starter over the second half of the season.
