Nelson Cruz is enjoying life with his new team just fine.
The majors' 2014 home run king has picked up right where he left off, providing the Seattle Mariners a strong early return on their $57-million investment.
Cruz, who powered the Mariners to a 10th-inning win Sunday with a solo homer, knocked another two Monday in his first at-bats of the game.
His first bomb against Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Brandon McCarthy was the 200th of his career.
Three innings later he added No. 201.

Cruz's 14th career multi-homer game represented the third consecutive contest he has gone deep, one shy of his personal-best mark set in 2011. He hit a major league-leading 40 home runs last season with the Baltimore Orioles.
Teammates Dustin Ackley and Kyle Seager hopped in on the long-ball action, too. Each blasted homers off McCarthy, who allowed four but struck out 10 in seven innings.
