The Seattle Mariners first two games of spring training weren't the cleanest, as is expected in the early days of big league camp.

In the opener against the San Diego Padres on Feb. 21, the Mariners lost 5-2. In a game the following day against the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle lost 11-10 on a walk-off throwing error.

On the third game of spring training against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Feb. 23, the Mariners had arguably their best single inning of baseball so far in spring.

The bottom of the second inning began with the Diamondbacks up 1-0. Randy Arozarena, who was batting cleanup, lined out quickly to give Arizona one out. Then Seattle showed off its bats.

The Mariners recorded hits in six consecutive at-bats and seven of the next eight. Tyler Locklear had a two-RBI double, Ryan Bliss got a score in with a double of his own, Ben Williamson added another run with a single, Julio Rodriguez scored Williamson with a sacrifice fly and Cal Raleigh doubled to give Seattle six runs for the inning.

When the second inning ended, Seattle went all the way through the order and led 6-1.

When the second inning concluded, seven of the Mariners nine starters in the lineup had a base hit.

It's encouraging for the present and future of the franchise that the combination of major league players and prospects put together a solid game.

And it will be interesting to see whether these group of players continue to perform well together throughout spring training, or if other players step up throughout big league camp.
