Julio Rodriguez homered to become the first player in major league history with 20 or more home runs and 20 or more stolen bases in each of his first four seasons, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 5-4 on Sunday.

Julio Rodriguez homered to become the first player in major league history with 20 or more home runs and 20 or more stolen bases in each of his first four seasons, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 5-4 on Sunday.

Julio Rodriguez hit a milestone home run as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Texas Rangers 5-4 Sunday afternoon. Jorge Polanco and J.P. Crawford also went deep for the Mariners, who took three of four games in the series between the American League West rivals and improved to 10-3 against Texas this season.

Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom became the fastest pitcher in major league history to reach 1,800 career strikeouts on Sunday.

He's a long way removed from his two Cy Young awards, but don't tell him. He keeps throwing fastballs at 99, sliders at 93 and striking batters out at the rate he did as a much younger pitcher, and baseball is better for it.
