Seattle Mariners notebook: Dylan Moore's defense, Polanco's bat

Dylan Moore has been a valuable utility player for the Seattle Mariners since breaking into the major leagues six years ago. The 31 year old once again made a major impact Tuesday night when he made one of the defensive plays of the young season for Seattle. With the Mariners in a bases-loaded, two-out jam and clinging to a one-run lead in the top of the eighth inning, Atlanta's Orlando Arcia hit a soft grounder to Moore at shortstop. Moore charged the ball, scooped it and fired an off-balanced throw for the inning-ending out at first, which ultimately helped preserve a 3-2 win for Seattle.
