Swipes bag in win Estrada went 2-for-4 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners. Impact Estrada has gone 6-for-20 (.300) over five games since he returned from a wrist injury. The theft was just his second of the year, an unusually low mark given he topped 20 steals in each of the previous two years. Part of the issue has been a lack of opportunity -- Estrada is slashing just .221/.251/.352 over 92 contests this season. He's added nine home runs, 46 RBI, 43 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples. Per Statcast, his sprint speed is at 28.0 feet per second, which is just 0.1 lower than last year, so it appears his drop in steals can be attributed to taking fewer chances rather than a meaningful drop in his abilities.
