Julio Rodriguez's two homers, Cal Raleigh's 44th power Mariners past Rays
August 10 - Julio Rodriguez hit two home runs and Cal Raleigh added his major league-leading 44th long ball of the season as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Tampa Bay Rays 7-4 Saturday night. Josh Naylor added a pair of doubles and rookie right-hander Logan Evans (6-4) gave up three runs on three hits over 5 1/3 innings as the Mariners won their sixth in a row and improved to 8-1 on their 10-game homestand that concludes Sunday. Andres Munoz worked the ninth for his 27th save. The Mariners, who retired Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki's No. 51 in a pregame ceremony in front of a capacity crowd, pulled within a half-game of the division-leading Houston Astros in the American League West and tied Boston atop the league's wild-card standings. Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero homered for the Rays. Tampa Bay starter Joe Boyle (1-2) struggled with his command, giving up six runs on four hits in 3 1/3 innings. The right-hander walked five and fanned five. Lowe homered in the top of the first for the second straight night to put the Rays ahead. The lead didn't last long as Randy Arozarena drew a leadoff walk in the bottom of the inning and, one out later, Rodriguez went deep to right-center, hitting the ball into the J-Rod Squad of his fans. The Mariners extended their lead to 6-1 in the third. Cole Young walked and Arozarena singled to center before Raleigh launched an opposite-field homer into the Mariners' bullpen in left-center, helping him regain the majors' RBIs lead with 96. Rodriguez lined the next pitch just inside the foul pole down the left-field line. The Rays' Yandy Diaz led off the sixth with a walk and, one out later, Josh Lowe grounded a single to right to end Evans' night. Caminero greeted reliever Caleb Ferguson with a three-run shot to straightaway center to make it 6-4. The Mariners responded in the bottom of the frame as Young drew a one-out walk and took third on Arozarena's single to center. Young scored on a wild pitch by reliever Mason Englert for the game's final run. --Field Level Media

Shohei Ohtani the third Japanese-born player to reach 1,000 hits in MLB
Shohei Ohtani notched the 1,000th hit of his Major League Baseball career in impressive style on Wednesday, with a two-run homer as part of an impressive two-day display that could not get the Los Angeles Dodgers past St. Louis. In his starting pitcher's role, Ohtani struck out eight and allowed just two infield singles in four dominant innings. And at the plate he notched his milestone homer in the third inning, a two-run blast that put Los Angeles up 2-1. It was his 39th home run of the season, one behind National League leader Kyle Schwarber and three behind MLB leader Cal Raleigh. The Dodgers could not hold on to their early lead, however, as the Cardinals rallied for a 5-3 victory at Dodger Stadium. But Ohtani joined newly minted Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki and Hideki Matsui as the only Japanese-born players to reach 1,000 hits in the major leagues. Ichiro finished his career with 3,089 and Matsui with 1,253.

Ohtani homers for 1,000th MLB hit in Dodgers defeat
Shohei Ohtani notched the 1,000th hit of his Major League Baseball career in impressive style Wednesday, belting a two-run homer as part of an impressive two-day display that couldn't get the Los Angeles Dodgers past St. Louis. In his starting pitcher's role Ohtani struck out eight and allowed just two infield singles in four dominant innings. And at the plate he notched his milestone homer in the third inning, a two-run blast that put Los Angeles up 2-1. It was his 39th home run of the season, one behind National League Lader Kyle Schwarber and three behind MLB leader Cal Raleigh. The Dodgers couldn't hold on to their early lead, however, the Cardinals rallying for a 5-3 victory at Dodger Stadium. But Ohtani joined newly minted Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki and Hideki Matsui as the only Japanese-born players to reach 1,000 hits in the major leagues. Ichiro finished his career with 3,089 and Matsui with 1,253. Ohtani's performance quelled concern over his previous pitching start, which he departed early due to cramping in his right hip. Having returned to the starting lineup this year after a near two-year absence in the wake of elbow surgery, he pitched four innings for the first time this season. bb/st
