Impact Suarez opened the scoring on the afternoon with his 20th two-bagger of the season, which plated Adam Frazier. The veteran third baseman had been mired in an 0-for-13 funk over the prior three games, and Sunday's double marked only his fourth extra-base hit in the last 19 games.

Big boost in situational hitting Suarez, who slugged a three-run home run in four plate appearances during Wednesday's win over the Yankees, is now hitting .282 with men on base in 2022.

Impact The solid figure is especially notable for Suarez, whose two final seasons in Cincinnati saw him hit just .218 (2020) and .167 (2021) with runners aboard. The significant uptick in timely hitting, which has included the veteran belting 11 of his 18 homers with men on base, has already led to a solid 57 RBI across Suarez's first 105 games in a Mariners uniform, giving him a realistic chance of posting his best total in that category since a 103-RBI tally back in 2019.

Launches two-run homer Suarez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

This was Suarez's 17th home run of the season and his first since July 13. The third baseman is on a four-game hit streak, with Tuesday's outing being his first multi-hit performance since July 8. Suarez now has a .234 batting average after hitting .202 in 2020 and .198 in 2021.

Working on modest hitting streak Suarez went 1-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Yankees on Monday and has now hit safely in three straight games.

Impact Suarez's .231 average continues to leave plenty to be desired, but he's carrying a respectable .745 OPS thanks in large part to a strong 11.9 percent walk rate and 36 extra-base hits overall. The veteran slugger is a good bit off his usual home-run pace, however, as he's averaging a round tripper every 27.3 plate appearances, as opposed to one every 18.5 trips to the batter's box in his final Reds season a year ago.

Hot July hitting continues Suarez went 1-for-3 with a double and a bases-loaded walk in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Impact Suarez picked up where he left off prior to the All-Star break, pushing his slash line to .270/.404/.568 over his last 11 games with Friday's production. The veteran slugger has reached safely in each one of those contests as well, and he's accumulated 13 RBI in the sample by posting a .333 average and 1.183 OPS in the 20 plate appearances he's logged with runners on base.

Suarez's busy night was par for the course in what has been a highly productive July, as he's now carrying a .286/.400/.524 slash line across 50 plate appearances over 12 games during the month.

Walks it off Friday Suarez went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-2 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Suarez delivered the biggest hit of the contest, a walkoff blast in the 11th inning for his 15th homer of the year. He's seeing the ball well in July -- he's gone 9-for-27 (.333) with two homers and a double in his last seven contests. The third baseman's recent surge has him up to a .243/.334/.447 slash line with 44 RBI, 41 runs scored and 17 doubles through 84 contests.

Drives in three runs Thursday Suarez went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs and a walk in Thursday's 8-3 victory versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Suarez swatted one of three Seattle homers in the contest, smashing a solo shot to left field to cap the scoring in the fifth inning. Before that, he knocked in a pair of runs with a third-inning single. Suarez has been a solid source of power and run production this season, trailing only rookie phenom Julio Rodriguez for the team lead in homers (14) and RBI (41). His .240 batting average is also a nice improvement after he hovered around the Mendoza Line each of the past two seasons.

Pops homer in Tuesday's win Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Suarez entered Tuesday on an 0-for-11 skid. It took him until the seventh inning to put an end to that slump, when he hit the Mariners' third consecutive homer to establish a 7-0 lead. The third baseman continues to supply solid power with 13 homers and a .438 slugging percentage through 68 contests. He's added 36 RBI, 33 runs scored, 12 doubles and a .227 batting average, and it doesn't appear that his recent slump will lead to reduced playing time.

The third baseman is up to 12 long balls this season, and he's added a .231/.324/.453 slash line, 34 RBI, 32 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple through 259 plate appearances as the Mariners' top option at the hot corner.

Impact The surging slugger has now reached safely in 11 consecutive games, a stretch during which he's forged an excellent .333/.440/.538 slash line while recording a pair of two-baggers, two home runs and nine RBI. Even when producing at that type of clip, Suarez remains saddled with his career-long albatross of inconsistent contact -- he's struck out at a 30.0 percent clip in the sample -- but the 30-year-old now appears on pace for a much better showing than the .198/.286/.428 tally he finished his 2021 campaign in Cincinnati with.

Impact Suarez opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, and he added a two-run homer in the ninth to put the Mariners ahead again. 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.

Belts eighth homer Sunday Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an extra-inning loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.

Impact Suarez also struck out in each of his other three plate appearances, so his feast-or-famine profile is as prevalent as ever. The veteran slugger sports an impressive .297/.350/.541 slash line over his last 10 games and his current .225 average is at its highest point since April 30, but he's also struck out 14 times over that same productive span.

Scores twice Thursday Suarez went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs in a loss to the Red Sox on Thursday.

Impact Suarez's bat finally seems to be coming to life, as he's now carrying a four-game hitting streak and has generated a solid .265 average and .736 OPS over his last nine games. The veteran slugger's .216/.314/.439 season line still has a long way to go to reach Suarez's pre-2020 standards, but perhaps this is the beginning of the end of a two-season-plus funk.
