8/5 3:00 PM Randy Arozarena (OF-SEA) Pair of Seattle Mariners Outfielders Make Recent MLB History. SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners' revamped lineup had a lot of success in the team's first series post-trade deadline. The Mariners won a four-game series against the Texas Rangers three games to one. But it's been two familiar faces on the club rather than the new ones that have made MLB history over the last several games. Since July 29, left fielder Randy Arozarena and center fielder Julio Rodriguez both recorded 20-20 (20 home run, 20 steal) seasons. Arozarena reached that mark with his 20th steal against the Athletics on July 29. Rodriguez clinched his 20-20 season with his 20th homer against the Texas Rangers on Aug. 3. HISTORY for JULIOOOOO! ?? #TridentsUp pic.twitter.com/Wj9KWIZTA3 — Seattle
