Impact Rodriguez's first home run since July 20, a 356-foot shot to left with J.P. Crawford aboard in the fifth inning, extended the Mariners' lead to 5-1 at the time.

Despite some intermittent stretches of production at the plate this season, the talented outfielder's .253/.308/.362 slash line has Rodriguez on track to regress in all three categories for the second consecutive campaign.

On base three times Saturday Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a double, a bases-loaded walk and a second base on balls in a loss to the Giants on Saturday.

Impact Rodriguez drew his second straight start in center field, corroborating the full return to health of his previously injured ankle.

All of those knocks have been doubles, as Rodriguez hasn't left the yard since July 20, the penultimate game before his IL stint. However, he's been a constant presence on the bases in the first two games of the current series, reaching safely five times in his first 10 plate appearances against San Francisco.
