Mariners' Dee Gordon: Laces three-bagger in loss
Gordon went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday. He's 2-for-9 in two games since rejoining the lineup after a two-game absence due to an ankle injury.
Gordon seemingly corroborated the fitness of his ankle by notching his fifth triple of the season. The veteran speedster is coming off a .323 average in July, but his .303 on-base percentage for the season remains pedestrian, especially for a leadoff man. Nevertheless, Gordon is slated to retain the everyday second base job despite the imminent return of Robinson Cano (suspension) -- the latter's inability to play in any postseason games as a byproduct of his 80-game PED ban means Gordon needs to stay sharp at the keystone in advance of a potential playoff appearance.
