Homers twice Saturday Seager went 2-for-6 with a pair of homers, three RBI, three runs scored and two walks as the Mariners swept Saturday's doubleheader versus the Athletics.
Impact In the matinee, Seager capped a four-run eighth inning with his two-run blast to produce the 5-1 final score. He added a solo shot in the nightcap and also scored on Tim Lopes single in a 12-3 win. Seager has nine homers, 40 RBI, 35 runs scored and five stolen bases while slashing .246/.361/.442 in 59 games played.

Hits continue to fall Seager went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.
Impact Seager tacked on the second run of the night for the Mariners in the fifth with his two-bagger, which plated J.P. Crawford. The veteran is now 5-for-12 with two doubles and four RBI across his last three games, some bottled-up success at the plate after the 32-year-old was hampered by an unusually low .122 BABIP through the first 17 games of the month.

Accounts for team's only run Seager went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.
Impact Seager's two-out two-bagger in the first quickly erased an early 1-0 deficit for the Mariners. The veteran third baseman has been mired in a prolonged slump for most of September, but he's now encouragingly 3-for-8 with a double and three RBI over the last pair of contests.

Plates pair in win Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run single and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.
Impact Seager plated J.P. Crawford and Dylan Moore with his eighth-inning single to close out the scoring on the night for the Mariners, giving him his first RBI since Sept. 12. The veteran third baseman has frequently run into tough luck when putting the ball in play during a rough September, as evidenced by his .122 BABIP across 73 plate appearances during that span. However, Seager has still managed to remain a constant presence on the bases thanks to his plate discipline, which has led to an impressive 20.5 percent walk rate over that sample.

Swipes fifth bag in loss Seager went 1-for-4 with a hit by pitch, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Giants on Thursday.
Impact The veteran third baseman has run into some tough luck when putting the ball in play recently, but he was able to make good use of his time on the basepaths Thursday. Seager is still looking for a breakout effort in September, considering he has only one multi-hit outing during the month and has hit safely in just two of his last nine games.

Sharp eye during rough patch Seager, who went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday, heads into Thursday's action with a lopsided .147/.412/.324 line across 51 September plate...
Impact Seager's unorthodox line thus far this month is essentially the byproduct of a .115 BABIP and 23.5 percent walk rate, as the veteran slugger has just a 13.7 percent strikeout rate in that sample. The rough patch at the plate has caused a 24-point drop in Seager's season average to .245, but he's now carrying a .361 on-base percentage that qualifies as a career high.

Productive night in win Seager went 0-for-2 with a bases-loaded walk, two other base on balls and two runs in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Impact Seager's run-scoring walk in the second inning capped off a five-run outburst for the Mariners over the first pair of frames. The veteran third baseman came into the contest in the midst of an 0-for-10 skid that encompassed his previous three games, but perhaps Saturday's patient approach at the plate will get him going in the right direction again.

Slugs seventh homer Seager went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.
Impact He took Kolby Allard deep in the first inning to give the M's a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Seager has gone yard in back-to-back games to give him seven long balls on the year, and his .283/.377/.507 slash line has him on pace for career highs in all three categories.
