Julio Rodriguez scores a staggering home run

The Seattle Mariners and the Cleveland Guardians were tied at 2-2 in the 7th inning during a Spring Training game on April 1st, 2022. Rodriguez was facing 24-year-old Emmanuel Clase in the 7th inning. And during a pitch, Julio Rodriguez swung his bat hard as the ball went to the deep right-center field of the Peoria Sports Complex. Rodriguez flew across the field. At first, everyone thought that Rodriguez would get just a triple, but as the ball touched the wall, there was a fielding error by the fielders. This helped Rodriguez make a sprint to secure a home run for the Mariners. This home run helped the Seattle Mariners gain a lead in the match. Rodriguez’s home run became the winning home run for the Mariners as they sealed the deal at 3-2.

Julio Rodriguez has a lot of potential in his MLB career. The Seattle Mariners will be eyeing a dominant season after they finished 42nd in the AL West Division during the MLB 2021 season. In the MLB 2021 season, the Seattle Mariners won 90 games while losing 72 games.
