    Jesus Montero wanted to make a good impression during his first homestand in Seattle.

    Hitting a line-drive, 415-foot home run to center at Safeco Field is impressive for anyone -- rookie or veteran.

    "It was cool. It was exciting for me to hit a home run in this field. It's a huge field," Montero said. "I was impressed."

    Montero finally made the splash Seattle has been waiting for with a solo homer and a two-run double, and Hector Noesi threw eight sharp innings to lead the Mariners past the Oakland Athletics 4-0 on Saturday night.
