Robert Garcia RP | TEX
Rangers' Robert Garcia: Earns win Saturday
Garcia (1-1) struck out one over a scoreless fifth inning to earn the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.
After Texas scored six times in the top of the fifth to take a 6-1 lead, starter Kumar Rocker began the bottom of the frame with two consecutive walks and was replaced by Garcia, who then got credited with the win. This was the reliever's third appearance since returning to the active roster last week. The left-hander has not allowed a hit, walk or run while striking out four over three innings.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Hammers homer Saturday
Crawford went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run, a hit-by-pitch and three total runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.
Crawford was one of eight Mariners to log multiple hits in the contest, and he's done so for both of the last two games following an 0-for-10 performance in this week's series against the Rangers. The shortstop snapped a 50-game power drought with his seventh-inning homer, a stretch that dated back to early June. Crawford is batting .223 with a .690 OPS, 11 homers, 35 RBI, 45 runs scored, 12 doubles and one stolen base over 104 games this season. He has hit leadoff in four straight games, including three against left-handers.

Dominic Canzone DH | SEA
Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Sparks offensive barrage
Canzone went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.
Canzone took Gage Jump deep in the first inning, and that blast was ultimately all the Mariners needed in the blowout win. Over his last 15 games, Canzone has gone 17-for-64 (.266) with eight extra-base hits and 10 RBI. The outfielder has split time between right field and designated hitter due to the ongoing struggles of Taylor Ward. Canzone is batting .258 with an .809 OPS, 22 homers, 68 RBI, 52 runs scored, 24 doubles, three triples and two stolen bases over 133 games this season.

Arroyo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.
Arroyo was in the lineup for just the second time since his Sept. 6 call-up. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts prior to his big game Saturday, which checked off a lot of firsts in his young career. He has yet to carve out a steady spot in the lineup, but that could change once the Mariners are officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Randy Arozarena LF | SEA
Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Goes yard in blowout win
Arozarena went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Arozarena is now batting .273 with an .835 OPS, 23 homers, 71 RBI, 97 runs scored, 29 doubles, one triple and 22 stolen bases over 141 contests this year. While his rate stats are among his best for a full season in his career, the outfielder's counting stats are mostly level or a little below where he's been in recent years.

Mariners' Weston Wilson: Five-hit barrage in rout
Wilson went 5-for-6 with a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.
The Mariners racked up 23 hits, and Wilson did more than his fair share of damage from the bottom of the order. He had gone just 8-for-53 (.151) over his previous 21 games since the start of August before breaking out Saturday. Wilson has been seeing a short-side platoon role at third base lately, sharing the position with switch-hitter Brock Rodden.
