Jarred Kelenic - Paces M's with three RBI Kelenic went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Royals.
Impact Kelenic continued his strong month of September with an exceptional performance at the plate in Sunday's victory. He doubled in two runs his first time up and doubled and scored in the fifth. He also homered to straightaway center to lead off the third in what was his second game of the year with three extra-base hits. It's not surprising that a guy with Kelenic's talent has finally started to figure things out with the bat. It's just unfortunate that there's not much time left in the season to see if he could sustain the production. In September, the 21-year-old is slashing .283/.348/.650 with six homers, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, two steals and 6:18 BB:K over 16 games. After such a rough go to kick off his major league career, it's nice to see Kelenic ending things on a high note.

Dylan Moore - Steals base in win Moore went 2-for-3 with a walk, a steal, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Royals.
Impact Moore notched his first multi-hit game since July 17 while also stealing his 21st base of the year. The 28-year-old has struggled to a .182/.278/.340 slash line with 12 homers, 41 RBI, 36 runs scored and 37:102 BB:K over 345 plate appearances. His versatility on defense will still allow him to see opportunities in the lineup but he really shouldn't be counted on much to produce at the plate.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Mitch Haniger - Launches solo home run Haniger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Royals.
Impact Haniger's home run came late after he launched his 34th of the year off Tyler Zuber in the ninth to make it a 7-1 ballgame. His long ball ended a little 0-for-16 drought he was grinding through and it was his fifth home run this month. For the year, Haniger is slashing .251/.317/.473 with 56 extra-base hits, 84 RBI, 101 runs scored, a stolen base and 50:153 BB:K over 634 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Bauers - Homers in win Bauers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Royals.
Impact Bauers absolutely clobbered a first-pitch fastball from Jackson Kowar that sailed 460 feet to right field to extend the Mariners' lead to 5-0 in the third. The long ball was his first hit since Sept. 5. He had been hitless in his previous 16 at-bats. His recent struggles are in line with his overall production on the season, as he's slashing .216/.294/.286 with four homers, 19 RBI, 25 runs scored, six steals and 29:73 BB:K over 303 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ty France - Picks up three hits in win France went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Royals.
Impact France was struggling a bit to begin the month after hitting just .220 over his first 13 games but has picked up seven hits over his last three games. The 26-year-old continues to be a bargain for the Mariners after they acquired him at last year's trade deadline. He's now slashing .294/.368/.446 with 46 extra-base hits, 63 RBI, 74 runs scored and 40:101 BB:K over 592 plate appearances.

Logan Gilbert - Fires seven strong innings in win Gilbert (6-5) allowed just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings as he got the win over the Royals on Sunday.
Impact Gilbert had his way with the Royals, retiring 17 of the first 18 hitters he faced before allowing a double and a single in the sixth to give Kansas City their only run of the day. Sunday was his first win since July 30 despite owning a 2.01 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over four starts in September. The 24-year-old rookie has had some inconsistency this year but has shown enough upside to prove that his future is bright. He now sits at a 4.74 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 120:23 K:BB over 108.1 innings and tentatively lines up for a meeting against the Angels later in the week.
