Robles went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two stolen bases and a run in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.
After having gone 4-for-7 with three stolen bases in the first two games of the series Thursday and Friday, Robles showed no signs of letting up with Saturday's performance, when he displayed a bit more pop than usual for good measure. The 27-year-old early-June arrival has been quite the find for an otherwise frustratingly inconsistent Mariners lineup, posting a .325/.394/.469 slash line and perfect 25-for-25 tally on steal attempts in his 67 games with Seattle thus far. September is proving to be his best month yet, as Robles is now hitting .432 (16-for-37) across 12 games since the calendar flipped.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Continues producing Monday
Rotowire
Robles went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Athletics on Monday.
Robles generated the only multi-hit effort of the contest for Seattle, accomplishing the feat for the fourth time in the last six games overall. The late-August/early-September surge has boosted Robles' season average 19 points to .299, and with current primary leadoff hitter J.P. Crawford now sitting on a .195/.301/.331 slash line for the season, Robles could conceivably retake the top spot in the order if both hitters' trajectories remain the same.
