Best Moment: 11 runs of offense in the first game

Fans have witnessed lackluster hitting all year but for the third time this season, the Mariners managed to put up double-digit runs. Everyone chipped in but two players led the charge. J.P. Crawford put up three runs and three RBI while Cal Raleigh also had three runs and four RBI. The other four runs were batted in by Josh Rojas, Ty France, and Jorge Polanco.

While it may have been better to spread out this offensive surge over the four games of the entire series, it was a picture of what can happen when the talent on the roster meets its potential. In order to stay atop the AL West and in the postseason picture, the Mariners will need to keep swinging and keep hitting, just like they did on July 11. Maybe we will see a move for a new second baseman or an outfielder during the All-Star break.
