Arozarena started in left field during his Mariners debut Saturday against the White Sox, going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run in Seattle's 6-3 win.
The big-name trade acquisition slotted into the No. 2 spot in the order and crossed the plate with his first run in a Mariners uniform on Jorge Polanco's eighth-inning single. Seattle is looking to Arozarena for an infusion of badly needed offense, and he arrived in the Emerald City in the midst of one of his better stretches at the plate in what has been a disappointing season. The 29-year-old forged a .375 average and 1.358 OPS with six extra-base hits over his last seven games with the Rays, and Saturday's team debut encouragingly maintained some of that momentum.
