Raisel Iglesias secures 15th save.
Raisel Iglesias secured the save on Thursday against the Marlins by pitching a flawless ninth inning, recording two strikeouts. Tasked with preserving a two-run lead, Iglesias effortlessly handled the top of the Marlins' lineup. In his last eight outings, the seasoned right-hander boasts a 1.13 ERA, having allowed only five baserunners in total. He has accumulated 15 saves this season and is expected to continue in the high-pressure role after Atlanta chose not to trade him at the deadline.
Luis Robert Jr. extends hitting streak to nine games with a multi-hit game.
Luis Robert Jr. continued his hitting streak to nine games by going 3-for-4 in the White Sox's 4-3 defeat to the Mariners in 11 innings. He also struck out once, reached base via a walk, and stole his 31st base. During this streak, Luis Robert has an impressive slash line of .412/.447/.618, with two home runs, five RBIs, and five stolen bases. His three hits elevated his offensive stats to .226/.315/.458 for the year, and his 31 steals brought him to 100 in his career, a milestone he reached alongside his 100th MLB home run this week.
Randy Arozarena's home run propels Mariners to a 4–3 victory over the White Sox.
Randy Arozarena hit a home run, drove in two runs, scored twice, and went 1-for-5 as the Seattle Mariners secured a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox. This marks Arozarena's 23rd home run of the season, bringing his total to 57 RBIs across 114 games. His current slash line is .245/.347/.469, with an OPS of .816 for the Mariners. In the past 30 games, he has contributed 11 homers and 17 RBIs.
Edgar Quero did not get any hits on Thursday.
In a 4-3 loss to the Mariners, Edgar Quero had a rough afternoon, going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. This hitless performance contributed to his sluggish offensive beginning in August, where he's posting a .167/.167/.222 slash line over four games.
