Abraham Toro 1B | BOS
Mariners' Abraham Toro: Swipes bag, drives in two
Toro went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs, two RBI, a strikeout, a stolen base and a caught stealing in a 10-4 extra-innings triumph over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Toro recorded an RBI fielder's choice and was caught stealing second in the fourth inning, doubled and scored in the seventh, stole second after hitting into another fielder's choice in the ninth, and knocked an RBI single before scoring in the 11th. The infielder has now posted consecutive multi-hit games while the theft was his first since July 28. He appears to have entrenched himself as Seattle's regular second baseman, at least for the remainder of the season.

The 24-year-old is hitting .223/.291/.319 in 26 games since the start of August and will attempt to get back on track following the absence.
