Mariners INF prospect Tyler Locklear went 4-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, four runs scored, six RBI, and a stolen base for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Can’t do much better than that. The 24-year-old corner infielder is now hitting .313 with a .921 OPS on the year to go along with 16 home runs, 77 RBI, and 17 steals. He also has gotten some of his strikeout issues in check with a 40/21 K/BB ratio since June 1st. The Mariners are looking to add an injection of power into their offense at the deadline, but that might also come from giving Locklear another chance against big league pitching.
