Rodriguez is out to a 1-for-9 start on the season, also registering six strikeouts. Before the game on Sunday, Dan Wilson spoke about what he's seeing from his superstar.

Julio Rodríguez hit a towering 438-foot, two-run homer in the sixth to give Seattle the lead, and Bryan Woo pitched six dominant innings and the Mariners beat the Athletics 2-1.

It's an encouraging sign for the 24-year-old Rodriguez, who's looking to rebound power-wise from a down 2024 -- he hit 20 home runs while posting a .734 OPS in 613 plate appearances.
