Julio Rodríguez earns fifth straight 20/20 season

Julio Rodríguez

SEA Center Fielder #44

Player Stats

Julio Rodríguez drove in two runs with a double and a groundout and stole three bases Thursday against the A’s.

The three steals pushed Rodríguez up to 20 for the year, giving him his fifth straight 20/20 season to open his career. At just 25 years old, he’s in great position to take over as the all-time leader in 20/20 seasons. Bobby and Barry Bonds currently share the record with 10 such seasons. The only active players ahead of Rodríguez are José Ramírez, who, at 11 homers, needs a huge finish to pull off his eighth such season this year, and teammate Randy Arozarena, who has gone 20/20 for a sixth straight season.

Julio Rodríguez belted a go-ahead three-run home run in the seventh inning on Thursday, propelling the Mariners to a 4-3 victory over the visiting Rangers.

The Mariners entered the seventh inning trailing 3-0 and they had had just one base runner on the afternoon up until that point. An RBI single from Dominic Canzone finally got them on the board then Rodríguez followed two batters later with a 410-foot (112.4-mph EV) three-run shot off of Jakob Junis that gave the Mariners a 4-3 lead they wouldn’t relinquish. The 25-year-old outfielder finished the day 1-for-3 and is now hitting .239/.298/.395 with 21 homers, 64 RBI and 20 stolen bases on the season.

Julio Rodríguez went 2-for-5 and hit a three-run homer Monday versus the Phillies.

Rodríguez’s three-run homer off Zack Wheeler to get things going in the first seemed really big at the time, though he obviously ended up being overshadowed by Cal Raleigh tonight. The homer gave Rodríguez just his second multi-RBI game in two months. He’s now locked down a fifth straight 20-homer season to start his career, which is quite impressive, but everyone was expecting more from him than a .249/.312/.413 line through 121 games.

Julio Rodríguez went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run against the Yankees.

Rodríguez’ home run was his 19th of the year. He hit a solo shot off Will Warren in the first inning. Rodríguez now has three home runs in his last seven games. His ISO is .171 this year after posting ISOs of at least .207 in three of the first four years of his career. He’s hitting .257 with a .752 OPS and 52 RBI.

Julio Rodríguez went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk Wednesday in the Mariners’ 4-2 defeat of the Tigers.

Rodríguez’s homer came in a scoreless game after Brenan Hanifee intentionally walked Dominic Canzone to face him with two outs in the sixth. It was Rodriguez’s 17th homer of the year. 10 of those came in May. This was his first of August after he hit two in each of the other three months of the season.

Julio Rodríguez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and a stolen base against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Rodríguez led off the fourth inning with a solo homer off Justin Wrobleski. He later added a single in the eighth before stealing second and scoring. The 25-year-old outfielder is up to 16 homers, 51 runs scored, 46 RBI, and 13 steals while slashing .257/.317/.425 across 419 plate appearances.

Julio Rodríguez went 1-for-2 with a solo homer off the bench against the Reds on Tuesday.

Rodríguez was left out of the starting lineup after exiting Monday’s game against Cincinnati with a leg injury. So, it was an excellent sign when he came off the bench as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning before taking over in center field. It was an even better sign when he took Julian Garcia deep for a solo homer to lead off the eighth inning. The 25-year-old outfielder is up to 15 homers, 48 runs scored, 43 RBI, and 12 steals while hitting .258/.321/.426 across 393 plate appearances.

Julio Rodríguez (leg) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Reds.

It appears that Seattle is proceeding with an abundance of caution after Rodríguez came down hard on the first-base bag immediately after taking an 85.9 mph throw from Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz off his left leg during Monday’s series opener. Mariners skipper Dan Wilson downplayed concern after the contest and is sounds like Rodríguez is day-to-day heading into Wednesday’s series finale. It’ll be Victor Robles sliding over to patrol center field in his absence.

The Mariners don’t think Julio Rodríguez strained his hamstring before leaving Monday’s game against the Reds.

Rodríguez departed after being hit on the back of his leg by a throw while beating out a grounder. He was also feeling some soreness from the impact of hitting first base afterwards. Still, it sounds like there aren’t going to be any lasting problems here.

Julio Rodríguez made an early exit from Monday’s series opener against the Reds.

Rodríguez appeared to be struck on the left hamstring by an errant throw from Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz during the fifth inning. He left the dugout with a trainer following the play. There should be a definitive update from the club shortly.

Mariners activated OF Julio Rodríguez from the 7-day concussion injured list.

Rodríguez returns to Seattle’s lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Giants at T-Mobile Park after missing just over two weeks recovering from a concussion, but will begin his second half as the designated hitter, with Luke Raley handling center field. The 25-year-old franchise cornerstone was hitting .259/.323/.424 with 14 home runs, 40 RBI and 12 steals in 378 plate appearances across 87 games to open the season. His presence should provide an immediate lift for Seattle’s offense.

Blade Tidwell picked up his first win of the season after allowing two runs and three hits in 6 2/3 innings versus the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Tidwell’s velocity was down some tonight and he allowed eight hard-hit balls while also throwing first-pitch strikes to just nine of 25 batters. Still, he was quite effective anyway, and the win gives him a 1-2 record and a 4.56 ERA through eight starts and seven relief appearances. He’s lined up to face the Twins on Monday.

Andre Pallante was tagged for eight runs — six earned — in five innings by the Giants on Tuesday.

Pallante did nice work against a Rafael Devers-less lineup in San Francisco last week, but back at home tonight, he allowed eight hits, walked two and struck out only two. The loss makes him 12-7 with a 3.70 ERA. He’s set to make his next start Tuesday against the Pirates.

Turner Hill went 2-for-4 with his first major league homer and a walk Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Hill’s bat speed on the homer was just 65 mph, but he caught the ball perfectly, hitting a Cade Winquest curveball 395 feet to right center. He’s hitting .250/.351/.363 in 97 plate appearances in a bid to try to survive a roster armageddon next month when the Giants have to made decisions on how many of their 16 players on the 60-day injured list they’re going to reinstate to the 40-man roster.

Ozzie Albies hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth as the Braves beat the Cubs 6-3 on Tuesday.

All of Atlanta’s runs came on two-run homers; Ronald Acuña Jr. hit the first off Kevin Gausman in the sixth, Albies gave the Braves a 4-3 lead off Jacob Webb in the seventh and then Drake Baldwin provided insurance against Edward Cabrera in the ninth. Albies’ homer came from the eighth spot in the lineup, which was the lowest he’s hit all year. He was batting just .195/.252/.337 in 226 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Pérez has only started one postseason game in his long career, giving up four runs over five innings for the Rangers in a loss to the Blue Jays in the 2015 ALDS. He might get another chance this October, though. First, he’s due at least one more regular-season start next week versus the Reds. He’s currently 9-9 with a 3.07 ERA.

Gausman had a shutout going until Ronald Acuña Jr. homered with one out in the sixth. The Cubs still had a 3-2 lead at that point, but the pen couldn’t hold it. Still, it was a positive outing for Gausman, who struck out six and walked none. He’s in line to face the Marlins on Tuesday.

Jacob Webb took his eighth blown save and his fifth loss after giving up a two-run homer while getting two outs Tuesday against the Braves.

At least the Cubs are learning now that Webb probably shouldn’t be one of their top couple of relievers in October. He’s taken four blown saves since picking up his last save a month ago. Things are definitely looking up for Daniel Palencia, who retired the only batter he faced tonight, but it might be too late to matter much for fantasy purposes.
