Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Goes yard Friday
Suarez went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

The third baseman has been warming up at the dish lately, going 7-for-23 (.304) in his last six games, which follows a three-game skid that came after his previous eight-game hitting streak. For the year, he has a .222/.304/.444 slash line with 10 homers, 28 RBI, 30 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple in 51 contests.
