SEATTLE — His right arm extended, Jesse Winker held his bat high over his head as he turned and admired his deep drive toward the right-field foul pole.
Would it stay fair?
In what has been a disappointing first season in Seattle, Winker gave an emphatic answer Sunday afternoon with a third-inning grand slam off Angels left-hander Tucker Davidson that helped the Mariners salvage a series split with a 6-3 victory before a crowd of 34,837 at T-Mobile Park.
