Worth noting

• Shortstop Brad Miller became the first Mariner ever to have three two-homer games as a rookie when he hit a pair of long balls in Saturday's 7-5 win. The Mariners who have had two multi-homer games as rookies are Greg Briley (1989), Ken Griffey Jr. (1989), Jose Cruz Jr. (1997), Kenji Johjima (2006) and Nick Franklin (2013).

• Miller's grand slam on Saturday gave the Mariners seven slams this year, second in the Majors behind Boston's nine. The Mariners hadn't hit seven grand slams in a season since 2006.

• The complete spring schedule hasn't been released yet, but the Mariners will open Cactus League play on Feb. 27 vs. the Padres at Peoria Stadium.
