Heading into play last Thursday night, fantasy players and everyone surrounding the Mariners was wondering what had happened to 3B Kyle Seager. He has nailed 5 HRs in his last 4 games, and is now hitting for a .798 OPS – with 13 RBI in 79 AB on the young season. The last 2 years, Seager has hit 20 and 22 HRs respectively – and been the only player on the squad to have decent RBI totals.

Jhonny Peralta may only be hitting .193 to start the 2014 campaign, but his 2 HR effort on Sunday night gave him 6 on the season so far. The April HRs were the most by a St. Louis SS since 2003 when Edgar Renteria was on the team. Peralta was inked to a 4 YRs/$54 MIL deal prior to the 2014 year by the Cards, despite coming off of a 50 Game PED suspension for having dealt with the Biogenesis clinic in Florida.
