Homers again in Sunday's win
Young went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Analysis
This was Young's second consecutive multi-hit effort, both of which have included a homer. The second baseman has 13 long balls on the year, including four over his last nine contests. He's now batting .256 with a .724 OPS, 48 RBI, 48 runs scored, three stolen bases, 14 doubles and a triple over 100 games this season. Young batted third Sunday against southpaw Robbie Ray, and the 22-year-old infielder could stick higher in the order if he sustains his momentum.

Turns tide with huge homer
Young went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 4-3, extra-inning win over the Giants on Saturday.
Analysis
Logan Webb dominated Seattle for six scoreless innings, giving up only one hit (a single by Young). However, the Giants' ace gifted the Mariners an opportunity when he walked a batter and hit another in the seventh frame, and Young made him pay with a game-tying, two-out, three-run blast to right-center field. It was the second baseman's 12th long ball of the season and pushed him into the Seattle lead with 46 runs batted in. The RBI total also ranks fifth among MLB second basemen.
