Jorge Polanco showcased his power at the plate, hitting two home runs in a crucial 5-3 victory against the Los Angeles Angels. Despite falling short of a three-home run game due to a spectacular catch by Jo Adell, Polanco's performance further cements his role as the driving force behind the Seattle Mariners' surprising offensive surge. He has hit two home runs in back-to-back games and leads the American League in key offensive metrics after a stellar week where he batted .471 with four home runs.

Polanco's resurgence comes after a surgery to repair his left patellar tendon last October, raising questions about his potential and value. With a $7 million contract for the season, he has proven to be one of the most valuable bargains in baseball. The Mariners are thriving, currently leading the American League West, in part due to Polanco's consistent hitting and making mechanical adjustments to his swing that have clearly paid off.
