Haniger entered a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning and hit a solo home run in his only at-bat.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder had returned to the starting lineup Tuesday following a one-game absence due to a quadriceps injury and gone 0-for-4, but he delivered in the clutch off the bench a day later. However, Haniger's blast only served to get the Mariners halfway to Los Angeles' eight-run total and turned out to be the final run of the night for Seattle. The solo shot snapped an 11-game homer-drought for the 33-year-old, whose .353 slugging percentage remains a career low.
