Julio Rodríguez's Two Hits Lift Mariners Over Twins 5-4

Rodríguez's latest two-hit effort nudged his season batting average to .239, chipping away at a recent downturn in production. Over the last five games, he's swinging at a .280 clip, a sign that his bat may be regaining its rhythm after a slower start.

His consistency at the plate is complemented by his ability to reach base, shown by an on-base percentage of .312. Notably, he has avoided grounding into double plays, with only five on the season, allowing him to maintain momentum on the base paths.
