Kyle Seager singled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, and game around to score the winning run two singles later as the Mariners beat the Angels 3-2. Seager plays 2013 as a 25-year-old, the usual start of the peak of a player’s career. With a bit over a year of major league experience under his belt, Seager is on a tear, with 23 hits and seven walks during the 16 games of hotness. He’s posting a .390/.455/.661 slash line during the streak. He’s only scored 9 runs and driven in 11, however, mostly due to the poor play of the rest of the team. Jesus Montero is starting to hit better as well. If Montero and Seager can hit their strides at the same time, the Mariners offense should get a nice boost, at least enough to get Felix Hernandez a winning record.
