Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Productive in Monday's win
Rotowire
Arozarena went 2-for-5 with an RBI ground-rule double and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.
Arozarena contributed to the Mariners' 13-hit barrage with only his second multi-hit effort in the last 13 games. The slugger does now have a 12-game on-base streak, and although he's hitting an unremarkable .244 in that stretch, that figure is accompanied by a .382 on-base percentage thanks in large part to a 14.5 percent walk rate.
Arozarena went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rangers.
Arozarena rocketed one to left field in the seventh inning to build on the Mariners lead. The home run brought him up to 20 for the year, making it four straight seasons for Arozarena with 20 home runs and 20 steals. He's recorded a hit in nine of his last 10 games, driving in 10 runs over that span. It's still been a down year for him as a whole. He's hitting for a career-worst average ( currently .222) and he's sitting at 57 RBI with 12 games remaining, which is on pace to be his lowest RBI total over the past four years.

Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Productive night in blowout win
Rotowire
Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and two runs in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Arozarena authored one of five multi-hit efforts for the Mariners in the lopsided victory, and he chipped in two of the team's 16 runs with a timely check-swing double in the seventh inning that plated J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez. Arozarena snapped a 1-for-14, four-game skid in the process, a slump that began after he'd recorded five hits over two games on Aug. 28 and Aug. 30. Despite the recent brief downturn, Arozarena has been more productive overall since arriving in Seattle than he was up to that point with the Rays, posting a .238 average, .753 OPS, 11 extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 18 walks and 24 runs while getting on base nine additional times on hit-by-pitches over 34 games in a Mariners uniform.

Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Records 19th steal in loss
Rotowire
Arozarena went 1-for-5 with an RBI fielder's choice, a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Giants.
The trade-deadline acquisition got the Mariners to within a run in the seventh inning with his groundout to shortstop, but Seattle was unable to get a second consecutive win under new manager Dan Wilson. Arozarena also subsequently swiped second base for his 19th steal of the campaign, putting him on the precipice of reaching the 20-steal threshold for the fourth straight season. The majority of that production came during his time with the Rays, but Arozarena has now gotten the green light on the basepaths and capitalized three times in the last five games.
