Productive out of leadoff spot Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run single and two walks in a loss to the Rays on Friday.

Impact Crawford's two-run knock in the second inning brought home Jarred Kelenic and Cal Raleigh with what would turn out to be the Mariners' last two runs of the night. The 28-year-old finished June in a funk despite his production against the Rays -- Crawford hit just .163 (7-for-54) over the final 12 games of the month -- but he did also slug half of his six home runs on the season during that span while producing a solid .333 on-base percentage thanks to 11 walks.

Multi-hit effort in loss Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to Atlanta on Friday.

Impact The veteran shortstop stuck in the leadoff spot while reaching safely for the 15th straight start. Crawford's .244 average and .341 slugging percentage leave plenty to be desired, but his .370 on-base percentage, partly fueled by a 16.0 percent walk rate, gives him solid top-of-order credentials as manager Scott Servais looks to get Julio Rodriguez's offense ignited from more of the middle of the lineup.
