Mariners Weekly Rundown: Tough Times have Returned to Seattle
Cano Continues to Lead the Way for Seattle
Robinson Cano had yet another productive week at the plate for the Mariners. The star second baseman posted a .333 batting average with 2 doubles, 2 home runs and 3 RBI across 7 games. Cano registered a .355 on base percentage and slugged .600 through 30 at bats. He also posted a less than stellar 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio.
It’s becoming clear that the 33-year-old is having an MVP type of season for the Mariners in 2016. Cano is slashing .292/.348/.577 with 18 home runs and 50 RBI through 62 games. This is a complete turnaround from last season, where he was hitting a measly .239 with 2 home runs and 19 RBI on June 12. Robbie is on pace to slug 30+ home runs and drive in over 100 runs for the first in a Mariner uniform.
