Both of the catcher's multi-hit efforts this season have come in his last seven contests. He's still batting a poor .151/.222/.384 with 10 RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles through 81 plate appearances while sharing time with Luis Torrens behind the dish with Tom Murphy (shoulder) on the injured list.

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.

Impact Sewald needed 23 pitches (14 strikes), but he was able to lock down his third save of the season. The 32-year-old took a blown save in Thursday's game versus the Orioles after allowing an inherited runner to score, but manager Scott Servais showed trust to turn back to him the next day. The right-hander has a 2.33 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, 19:6 K:BB, three holds and a 2-1 record through 19.1 innings as a high-leverage option in the Mariners' closer committee.

The right-hander is cruising in his second big-league season, posting a 2.22 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 67:19 K:BB across 65 innings in 11 starts. He'll look to improve on his 5-2 record next week in a tough road start versus the Astros.

Impact Trammell's night ended early, but not before he reached safely for the fifth time in the last six games.

The 25-year-old's bat has come to life since mid-May following a positively dismal start to the season, as he owns a .321 average and .998 OPS across the 31 plate appearances he's logged in his last nine games.

Baltimore added another run in the third, but Flexen minimized the damage and escaped with his seventh quality start of the campaign. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday's road matchup against the Astros.
