by a Mariner since Kyle Seager accomplished the feat on Aug. 23-26, 2011 (last time with 5 straight
games with a double: Raul Ibanez, 5, 9/28-10/2/2004)over his last 17 games, 11 of his 16 hits have

are 3-3 with a 1.80 ERA (11 ER, 55.0 IP), lowering their combined ERA from 3.92 to current mark of 3.59
(0.33 points)...the teams 8 consecutive quality start streak is the 3rd-longest streak in the Majors this
season, trailing a 9-game streak by the Diamondbacks and Padres (longest by an American League
team)...lead the American League with 36 quality starts in 2015.

(22x63) with 2 runs, 3 doubles, 3 RBI and 5 walkshis 16-game hitting streak is 3rd-longest hitting

streak longer than 16 game was a 20-game streak by Mike Carp from July 30-Aug. 21, 2011.
MORE ROCK N ROLLsince 2011 Robinson Can has hit safely in 13 of his last 15 games with
7 multi-hit contests at Progressive Field, batting .371 (23x62) with 11 runs, 11 doubles, 3 home runs,

AS YOU KNOWRobinson Can scored 2 runs last night vs. the Indians, his 899th and 900th run
scored in his careerBUT DID YOU KNOW?since the RBI became an official stat in 1920, Can
joins Hall of Famer Joe Gordon (NYY/CLE) as the only second basemen in Major League history to
score 900 runs and record 900 RBI through their first 11 seasons?...both Rogers Hornsby and Nap
Lajoie did so unofficially, as their seasons prior to 1920 dont count in terms of records.
