Randy Arozarena Powers Mariners Past Rays

Victor Robles had a strong performance in a loss to the Rays, going 2-for-4 with two steals, marking his fourth multi-hit game in six outings. Randy Arozarena also shone against his former team, hitting a tiebreaking three-run homer in a 5-1 Mariners victory over the Rays, snapping a lengthy slump. Arozarena's home run was his first at home since joining Seattle and ended a 22-game homerless stretch. Additionally, Jorge Polanco showcased his improved form with a .269 average post-All-Star break, further contributing to the Mariners' efforts. Both Arozarena and Robles continue to demonstrate their potential as the season progresses, with Arozarena nearing a milestone of 20 stolen bases for the fourth consecutive year. The Mariners, under new manager Dan Wilson, are gaining momentum as they chase a playoff spot in the AL West.
