Mariners' Mitch Garver: Four-RBI breakout Wednesday
Mitch Garver went 2-for-5 with a two-run double, an RBI single, a run-scoring groundout and a run in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.Garver had a hand in each of the Seattle Mariners' first three runs, driving in Victor Robles and Randy Arozarena with a second-inning double before pushing Robles across again in the third via a timely single. The veteran accounted for Seattle's 15th run of the night hours later in the eighth inning with an RBI groundout, closing the book on his first four-RBI tally in exactly a calendar year and a day.

Mariners' Mitch Garver: Rare offensive success Friday
Mitch 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 Seattle 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.

Mariners' Mitch Garver: Successful as pinch hitter Thursday
Mitch Garver entered Thursday's win over the Tigers as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and singled in his one plate appearance.Garver was on the bench to start the night for the third time in the last four games, but he delivered when called upon in the eighth. The struggling veteran now has hits in back-to-back games, but the 0-for-19 stretch that immediately preceded that pair of contests is a microcosm of a nightmarish debut campaign in Seattle that sees him carrying a .170 average and career-low .623 OPS through 94 games.

Mariners' Mitch Garver: Retreating to bench Sunday
Mitch Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.After going 0-for-16 over a stretch of four starts from July 13 through July 22, Garver went 3-for-3 with two walks July 26 against the White Sox, only to endure another 0-for-16 showing over a four-game stretch. Garver had started in three of the Seattle Mariners' previous four games, but his ongoing slump will likely begin to cost him more playing time.

Mariners' Mitch Garver: On base five times in rout
Mitch Garver went 3-for-3 with two walks, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.Making his first start at catcher since July 20, Garver had a perfect day at the plate and did pretty well behind it too, guiding George Kirby and the Seattle bullpen to a combined shutout. Garver had been stuck in a 2-for-29 slump in his last eight games heading into Friday, but he remains the only backup option to Cal Raleigh and is part of the mix at designated hitter despite a career-low .649 OPS on the season. Once Randy Arozarena joins the team and Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is back in action, however, there will be greater competition for those DH at-bats.

Mariners' Mitch Garver: Losing playing time
Mitch Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.Garver is in the midst of a rough stretch at the plate, having gone hitless with eight strikeouts in his last five starts and 2-for-29 with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate over his past eight games. The ongoing slump looks to have cost him a regular spot in the lineup, as Garver will miss out Wednesday on the Seattle Mariners' third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Griffin Canning). Jason Vosler will get a second straight start at designated hitter and may have overtaken Garver as the Mariners' preferred option for the time being.
