9th inning and went on to score the game-tying run. On May 27, 2008, López helped end a seven-game Mariner losing skid with a walk-off single off Boston reliever Mike Timlin to score Wladimir Balentien. The Mariners won 4–3 and López was later quoted saying jokingly, "I wanted to run to center field...I knew the team was coming to kill me." On May 1, 2009, López hit a walk-off single in a 14-pitch at bat off of Oakland A's reliever Russ Springer. López fouled off nine consecutive pitches before hitting his walk-off single. In 2009, he had the lowest range factor of all starting major league second basemen (4.27). During spring training for the 2010 season, López was converted to a third baseman replacing teammate Chone Figgins who in turn took over the second base position. In a game against the Chicago White Sox on April 23, 2010, López hit his first career grand slam home run against former Mariner J. J. Putz. López hit his second career grand slam off of Joba Chamberlain on July 10, 2010, in the bottom of the 8th inning leading the Mariners to a 4–1 victory over the New York Yankees. On July 27, 2010, while running to first base in the 1st inning, López strained his left hamstring. He missed the following six games, returning on August 4. In his first at bat back, he hit a 2 RBI single against the Texas Rangers with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the first inning. On September 22, 2010, López hit 3 home runs in one game. He was the first Mariner to do this since Mike Cameron in 2002 when he hit 4 against the Chicago White Sox.
