Mitch Haniger Launches Grand Slam Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger had a big game Friday night, going 2-for-4 with a walk and a grand slam off of Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jose Quintana. This blast brings Haniger to the 20-home run plateau and lifts his OPS back up to .800. Haniger has now homered in back-to-back games, hinting that […]

Marco Gonzales Allows Two Homers In No-Decision Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales allowed two home runs Friday against the Angels, including a monstrous shot by Shohei Ohtani, but was fortunate to only escape having allowed three runs on seven hits and one walk in 5 2/3 innings while striking out three. He took a no-decision in the contest. Gonzales has simply […]

Mitch Haniger Smacks 19th Home Run

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger tacked on an insurance run in the eighth inning of Thursday's 4-0 shutout win over the New York Yankees with a solo home run off relief pitcher Wandy Peralta. It's his first long ball of July, though he now has three home runs in his last 10 games. Haniger has […]

Kyle Seager Hits 16th Long Ball Thursday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager went deep for the 16th time this year Thursday, smacking a solo shot off New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery. It was Seager's only hit in four at-bats, as he struck out his other three times to the plate. This game is an excellent representation of Seager's season, […]

Dylan Moore Homers, Swipes A Bag Thursday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore had a big day against the Yankees Thursday, smacking a two-run home run and stealing his 14th base of the season. For the game, he went 1-for-2 with a walk. The home run was his eighth of the year. This is the third time this season in which Moore […]

Luis Torrens Reaches Twice, Scores Thursday

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens has found his way into some playing time since being called back up from Triple-A Tacoma on June 15, and he continued to contribute on Thursday, going 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored. He's now reached base in eight of his last nine games. Torrens can be a […]

Taylor Trammell Strikes Out Twice Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell went hitless in three at-bats Wednesday against the New York Yankees, striking out twice. Trammell has shown plenty of flashes this season, with eight home runs and two steals in 156 at-bats, but he's put up a .160/.256/.359 slash line which is hardly playable. Most importantly, he's struck out 75 […]

Dylan Moore Remains Hitless In July

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts against the New York Yankees Wednesday, extending his hitless streak to six games. Moore has simply been a non-factor with the bat all season, as his .177/.267/.344 slash line and seven home runs have been worth just a 73 wRC+. The only thing keeping […]

Mitch Haniger Scores Twice Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger crossed the plate twice Wednesday despite going 0-for-3 in a 5-4 loss to the New York Yankees. After an excellent start to the season, Haniger has had some tough sledding of late, slashing just .231/.285/.355 with four home runs over his last 30 games. That has sunk his season OPS […]

Paul Sewald Continues Impressive Run

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald could be earning himself a larger role with his impressive play of late. In Wednesday night's game, he pitched the ninth inning and allowed just one hit while striking out one. For the year, Sewald now has a 1.52 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP, and 41 strikeouts in 23 2/3 […]

Tom Murphy Hits Three-Run Bomb Wednesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy had the biggest hit of the night for the Mariners Wednesday, a three-run home run that pulled the team within a run of the New York Yankees. Murphy also had a single and a walk in four plate appearances. The home run was Murphy's seventh of the year, and his […]

Yusei Kikuchi Doesn't Have It Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi just didn't seem to be on his game from the get-go Wednesday, giving up five runs on eight hits and three walks in five innings to the New York Yankees. All five runs were allowed in the first two innings, after which Kikuchi managed to settle down. He struck […]

J.D. Martinez Triples And Scores A Run

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez hit a triple Wednesday, a rare feat for the slugger who is not generally regarded as being fleet of foot. It was his only hit in three at-bats, though he also walked and scored a run in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Martinez now has three […]

Christian Arroyo Has Two More Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo recorded two more hits Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Arroyo has shown no rust in his two games back from the injured list, and would appear to have the starting second base job locked up for the time being. He has a .258/.319/.439 […]

Xander Bogaerts With Three Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had three of Boston's nine hits Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored. Bogaerts is in the midst of a minor power outage, as he hasn't homered since June 15, but he has doubled 10 times since then and was robbed of a home […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Undone By Bloops And Blasts Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez closed out his first half Wednesday, and it did not go as well as he would have liked. He allowed four runs on nine hits and no walks to the Los Angeles Angels in five innings while striking out five. Much of the damage early came on bloop […]

Danny Santana May Go On The Injured List

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana (quad) was removed from Tuesday's contest in the seventh inning after coming up limping while running out a ground ball. He was replaced at first base by Bobby Dalbec. It appears to be a 50-50 chance that Santana will be placed on the injured list, but fellow utility […]

Xander Bogaerts On-Base Streak Ends At 29 Games

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts did not reach base Tuesday night against the Angels, bringing his 29-game on-base streak to an end. Bogaerts nearly did extend it, as he was robbed of an opposite-field two-run home run by a leaping Juan Lagares in the sixth inning which would have given the Red Sox the […]

Hunter Renfroe Goes Deep Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe went deep off Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning of Tuesday's contest, but it was a case of too-little-too-late for the Sox, who lost 5-3. It was Renfroe's 13th home run of the year, with the solo shot being his only hit in four at-bats. […]

J.D. Martinez Drives In Two Tuesday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez drove in two runs Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels. Martinez has been heating up of late, with a .320/.406/.640 slash line, two homers, and 11 RBI in his last seven games. He's a mainstay in the third spot […]

Nathan Eovaldi Takes The Loss Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi's brief streak of excellent starts came to an end Tuesday, as he allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk to the Los Angeles Angels in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out nine batters. The loss lowered his season record to 9-5, and his next appearance appears […]

Ty France Drives In A Run Tuesday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France was the lone bright spot for the Mariner offense Tuesday, as he went 2-for-4 with an RBI. France has quietly been excellent over the last month or so, slashing .279/.359/.486 with five home runs over his last 30 days. France doesn't stand out in any one particular category and […]

Justus Sheffield Allows Six Runs Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield only managed to record five outs against the New York Yankees Tuesday, giving up six runs on five hits and three walks. He struck out two. His ERA is now an unfortunate 6.48 with a 1.78 WHIP. He's simply not been competitive of late, and his spot in the […]

Rafael Devers Homers, Drives In Three Monday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers led the way Monday, going 3-for-5 with a home run against the Los Angeles Angels. The three-run shot was Devers' 21st of the year and brings his RBI total to a whopping 71 on the season. The first-time all-star now has a seven-game hitting streak, during which time […]

Christian Arroyo Homers In Return To Lineup

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo drew the start at second base in his first game back from the injured list, and wasted no time picking up right where he left off. Arroyo homered in his first at-bat of the game, his fifth of the year. He also walked in four plate appearances. Kike […]

Adam Ottavino Records Seventh Save Monday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino was credited with his seventh save of the year Monday, despite a shaky outing in which he allowed a run on two hits and a walk and came very close to losing the lead on a hard Shohei Ohtani line drive. He struck out two batters. Ottavino was […]

Martin Perez Allows One Earned Run Monday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez put together a solid outing Monday, lasting 5 1/3 innings and only allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits and a walk. He struck out three batters. Perez improved his record on the year to 7-4. This is his second consecutive strong outing, though fantasy managers are […]
