Make that four home runs in three games for Robinson Cano, who hit two more Wednesday to help the Mariners take their season-opening series against Texas.

Cano hit a two-run shot to open the scoring in the first then another one in the ninth to pad the Mariners’ lead at 9-5, which is how the game ended. You can watch both homers in the video embedded above.
