Garver went 2-for-5 with a two-run double in a win over the Angels on Friday.
Drawing a second consecutive start for the first time since Aug. 9-10, Garver delivered his first multi-hit effort since July 26. In the process, the veteran snapped a 14-game RBI drought with his double, which plated Jorge Polanco and Justin Turner as part of a five-run first inning for the Mariners. Garver has now reached the 40-RBI threshold for the season and has impressively knocked 28 of his 54 hits for extra bases, but the second-highest strikeout rate of his career (31.5 percent) and a .215 BABIP have led to an abysmal .166/.286/.326 slash line.
