Mariners left fielder Casper Wells got a Mother's Day request from his mom on Sunday morning.
"She said, 'Hit a home run for me,'" Wells said after his team's 6-2 victory over the Yankees. "Like that's an easy thing to do. I was thinking, 'That's kind of a big request. How about a single or a couple knocks?'"
The outfielder's mother and the rest of his family drove the two hours from Schenectady in upstate New York to see him play at Yankee Stadium.
