The Seattle Mariners are three games above .500 for the second time this season.
Seattle, which has won three in a row and six of its last eight games, will aim to keep the momentum going on Saturday night when it faces the host Arizona Diamondbacks in the middle contest of a three-game set in Phoenix.
"We know we want to be buyers at deadline," Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh said after Friday's 5-2 win in the series opener. "We want to compete, we want to keep going in this thing. It's so far from over. We've played really good baseball lately, and we want to keep it going." "Julio continues to roll," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "That's the most exciting thing. It's really been a struggle for him to put consecutive games together. Now it's three in a row. ... It's pretty awesome to watch."
"I'll never stop believing in this team and their ability to win a baseball game," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "They have proven it to me time and time again." "Probably some timing issues," Lovullo said of Gurriel's slump. "There are at-bats where the ball is getting a little bit too deep. ... It's a combination of things. Timing -- which is causing him to make a rushed decision, which is causing him to make different decisions or poor decisions on balls and strikes."
