Crawford went 3-for-5 with an RBI and three runs Monday in the Mariners' 13-4 win over the Athletics.
The shortstop had been stuck in a rut offensively for the first month and a half following the All-Star break, but the Mariners' faith in Crawford as their primary leadoff man never seemed to waver. The decision to stick with Crawford atop the lineup has paid dividends in September, with the 26-year-old responding with a .311/.368/.466 slash line through his first 24 games on the month. The Mariners will hope for a big finish from Crawford and the rest of their everyday lineup while the team looks to chase down two of the Yankees, Red Sox and Blue Jays for one of the two available American League wild-card spots.
