header Opener
On April 1st, 2021, Teoscar Hernandez made history as he recorded his first hit with the Seattle Mariners in the doubleheader opener against the San Francisco Giants. This marked the first time Hernandez had taken the field as a Mariner, and he made an immediate impact.
Hernandez was acquired by the Mariners in the offseason from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for pitcher Justin Dunn. Hernandez was a key piece of the trade, as he was coming off a career year in 2020 where he hit .289 with 16 home runs and 37 RBIs.
The Mariners were hoping that Hernandez could bring some much-needed offense to their lineup, and he did not disappoint. In the second inning of the doubleheader opener, Hernandez drove in a run with a single to left field. This was his first hit as a Mariner, and it gave the team a much-needed boost.
Hernandez went on to finish the game 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. His performance helped the Mariners take the first game of the doubleheader, and it was a sign of things to come.
Hernandez has been a key part of the Mariners’ offense since his arrival, and he is quickly becoming one of the team’s most important players. He is currently batting .288 with four home runs and 12 RBIs, and he is showing no signs of slowing down.
The Mariners are hoping that Hernandez can continue to produce at the plate and help them make a run at the playoffs this season. With his first hit as a Mariner, Hernandez has already made an impact and is showing that he can be an important part of the team’s success.
