Haniger went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 2-1 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger took Joe Ryan deep in the first inning and it would be the only offense Seattle needed to start the year 1-0. The 31-year-old outfielder is coming off a career year where he knocked 39 homers with 110 runs scored and an .804 OPS. Even with Seattle's core of young outfield talent, Haniger is locked into a major role in the middle of the Mariners' lineup this season.
