These aren’t your 2015 Seattle Mariners.

What do we mean when we say that?

The Mariners buried themselves early last season with a 3-7 start, but they’re 2-1 after their comeback win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon. The Mariners won only one game last season when trailing entering the ninth inning, but they matched that with Wednesday’s 9-5 win. They were 0-31 when trailing entering the ninth on the road. Only the San Francisco Giants (38) and Baltimore Orioles (43) had more such losses without a win.

Last year’s Mariners scored only seven runs in the first four games of the season. This year’s Mariners have 21 runs in three games.

Robinson Cano didn’t just homer again -- he homered twice, giving him four in three games. Cano totaled three hits in six games last season, getting off to a 3-for-25 start. He had four home runs in his first 71 games.

Elias notes that Cano, Trevor Story of the Colorado Rockies, and former Boston Red Sox second baseman Bobby Doerr (1941) are the only middle infielders in the modern era to hit four home runs in the first three games of the season. Cano is also the first Mariners player to hit four home runs that quickly into a season. His 19-game hitting streak and 28-game reached-base streak both are the longest current streaks in the majors.

The Mariners' top three hitters in the lineup combined for nine RBIs. The Elias Sports Bureau notes that the last time the Mariners got nine RBIs from their top three hitters was April 15, 2007 (Ichiro Suzuki, Adrian Beltre and Jose Vidro).

ESPN Stats & Information

The Mariners also got three more scoreless innings from the combination of Nick Vincent, Joaquin Benoit and Steve Cishek. Last season, the Mariners' bullpen posted a 4.15 ERA, which ranked 25th in the majors. Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto did a major overhaul of his bullpen this offseason.

This season, they’ve thrown nine scoreless, one-hit innings, with 14 strikeouts (and five walks).
