Records steal in win
Garcia went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.
Analysis
Garcia has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 8-for-27 (.296) with five extra-base hits in that span. The infielder is batting .270 with a .762 OPS, three home runs, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, four stolen bases, nine doubles and a triple over 32 contests. Garcia has stolen at least 23 bases over each of the last three years, so the potential is there for him to run more frequently as the season progresses.

Records three XBH Thursday

Analysis
Garcia put together one of his best performances of the season, doubling in the first inning and coming around to score, then launching a solo homer off Jeffrey Springs in the second before adding another double in the fourth. The homer was his first since April 11 and helped snap a recent slump in which he was hitting just .180 with two RBI over his previous 13 games. Garcia is now slashing .274/.341/.442 with three homers, eight doubles, 11 RBI and 17 runs scored across 126 plate appearances.
