Mariners' Victor Robles: Fills box score in big win
Rotowire
Robles went 3-for-4 with a two-run double, an RBI single, another two-bagger, a walk and three runs in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
The bottom four hitters in the Mariners' order all mustered multi-hit efforts, with Robles tying No. 8 batter Luis Urias for the most robust of those tallies on the night. The highly productive performance included the fifth multi-hit performance for Robles in his last eight games, a span in which he also boasts eight RBI and seven runs. The veteran outfielder has been utilized at various spots in the order, and his impressive .282 average and .759 OPS allows him to fit anywhere in the lineup while affording him an everyday role as well.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Continues producing Monday
Rotowire
Robles went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Athletics on Monday.
Robles generated the only multi-hit effort of the contest for Seattle, accomplishing the feat for the fourth time in the last six games overall. The late-August/early-September surge has boosted Robles' season average 19 points to .299, and with current primary leadoff hitter J.P. Crawford now sitting on a .195/.301/.331 slash line for the season, Robles could conceivably retake the top spot in the order if both hitters' trajectories remain the same.
