Shed Long Jr. Hits Game-Winning Home Run Tuesday
3 years agoSeattle Mariners utility man Shed Long Jr. came up with yet another big hit Tuesday, launching a game-winning home run in the bottom of the eighth inning off Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Tyler Kinley. It was his only hit in three at-bats for the game. Long Jr. now has a .783 OPS in 44 at-bats on the season, and could be earning some more playing time. He has some speed as well, making him perhaps a fringe roster consideration, but his value is capped batting towards the bottom of the order on a mediocre offense.
