Yainer Diaz went 2-for-5 with a home run, triple, and three RBI on Wednesday against the Mariners.

Twice Diaz pushed the Mariners to the brink in this game. First, his two-run home run in the third made this game 4-0 early against George Kirby, but Seattle rallied back to tie it up. Then, he tripled home the go-ahead run in the 10th and stood at third base with just one out. Yet, he was stranded there and Josh Hader blew it just afterwards. Nevertheless, a torrid second half has brought Diaz up to a respectable .282 batting average and .772 OPS in what was previously thought to be a lost season.
