Bauers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Royals.
Bauers absolutely clobbered a first-pitch fastball from Jackson Kowar that sailed 460 feet to right field to extend the Mariners' lead to 5-0 in the third. The long ball was his first hit since Sept. 5. He had been hitless in his previous 16 at-bats. His recent struggles are in line with his overall production on the season, as he's slashing .216/.294/.286 with four homers, 19 RBI, 25 runs scored, six steals and 29:73 BB:K over 303 plate appearances.
